Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon EVOO
2 pounds ground lamb, beef or chicken
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons dried Greek oregano or marjoram, half a palmful
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or chopped
2 medium onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and dill combined, finely chopped
2 round tablespoons flour
About 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
Juice of 1/2 lemon
One 10-ounce package organic chopped frozen spinach, wrung dry in kitchen towel
1 cup feta crumbles

Instructions

Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat, brown and crumble. Remove the meat and drain off the fat. Melt the butter in the same pot and add the zest, oregano, garlic, onions and some salt and pepper. Cook to tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Then add the fresh herbs, stir. Add the flour, stir a minute or so and then whisk in the stock. Cook to thicken a little. Add the meat back in along with the lemon juice and spinach. Combine. Turn off the heat, cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat until hot. Stir in the feta crumbles just before serving.
