Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 2 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
• 4 cups baby spinach leaves
• 3 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 pounds ground chicken
• 6 ounces chicken livers, chopped
• 0.25 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake eggshells in the preheated oven until dry, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove eggshells from the oven and pulverize using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.

Step 4

Place carrots, apples, and water into a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl and set aside. Place eggshells onto a baking sheet.

Step 6

Combine ground chicken, chicken livers, reserved eggs, ground eggshells, and sunflower oil in a large skillet. Heat over medium heat, mixing occasionally, until chicken is browned and crumbly and livers are no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 7

Place spinach on top of meat mixture, then cover with a lid and steam until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Mash softened carrots and apples in a bowl with a potato masher and add to meat mixture. Mix until well combined.
