Can I Use Other Meats in this Recipe?
One of the best things about this recipe is that you can take pretty much any leftover meat and veggies you have sitting in the fridge and give them a new lease of life!
Most meats will work in this recipe if they are diced finely, we would recommend bacon and shredded chicken. You could also use flaked wild caught salmon which works well too if you enjoy fish!
What are the Benefits of Coconut Milk?
Coconut milk is lower in carbs and higher in fat than most other milks. It is a good alternative to dairy milk and is suitable for those with nut allergies. Coconut milk is also great source of vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium and healthy fats. Be sure to choose full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk to get the most of these essential nutrients and avoid added sugars.
