Directions
Chop the vegetables (carrot, leek and onion) and cook in oil. Once poached add the chopped meat. When the meat changes color add the orange juice, brandy and apple, peeled and diced.

Nutrition Tips
It is essential that certain vegetables be pickled, to reduce their potassium content. It is also advisable to wash them well to remove any excess salt contained in the canned juices. Lean meat has less fat. Also control the amount of water per person (which is very important in controlling fluid for dialysis patients). A 200 g serving provides approximately 150 ml of water.
