Iron rich recipes

[sconeonamission]

Hi!
A friend of the family's (an elderly man) has been re-admitted to hospital (just had an eye op I think) and this time (and I never get the full story) something to do with low iron levels.

Do you have any iron rich recipes I could pass on?

Thanks heaps!

Dont think you can go past a good spag bol. With some good quality mince meat. The tomatoes in it will help aid maximum absorption of the iron as well. You could also grate up some veges that are rich in iron and put them in the bolognaise.

Also Lasagne- With spinach. Yum!

Hope your family friend is better soon.

liver is REALLY high in iron - if that's his cup of tea
otherwise anythiing with red meat and maybe some other iron rich things added - like beans, spinach etc. chilli con carne is quite good bc of the beans and beef mix. have a drink of oj with it, helps with absorption.
hope that helps.
