Lamb Kabobs: For Better Digestion in Perimenopause
Balancing digestion in perimenopause isn’t about restriction—it’s about nourishment.
Meals that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats (and are warm, cooked, and easy to digest) help your gut and your hormones recover together.
This easy lamb kabob recipe is one of my go-tos:
high in protein, rich in minerals, and ready in 20 minutes flat.
Lamb Kabobs
For Better Digestion in Perimenopause
Ingredients
- 1 lb lamb, pre-cut into kabob pieces
- 1–2 zucchinis, sliced into thick rounds
- 8–10 mushrooms (any kind you love)
- 1–2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
- Salt + pepper to taste
- 1 cup quinoa or rice
Instructions
- Cook the base.
Start the quinoa or rice in an Instant Pot or rice cooker using the “rice” setting—or cook on the stove as usual. - Prep the grill.
Preheat to medium-high heat so it’s ready to go when your skewers are. - Marinate + skewer.
Whisk together olive oil, mustard, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss in the lamb and zucchini rounds.
(You can marinate a few hours ahead for deeper flavor.)
Thread onto skewers, alternating with mushrooms. - Grill.
Cook skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once.
Use a meat thermometer—135°F (medium rare) is perfect. - Serve.
Plate the kabobs over warm rice or quinoa and enjoy.
