- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 3 tbsp cassava flour
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt

Instructions
- 1
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes, until the surface is fully wrinkled and the gelatin has absorbed the water.
- 2
Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 5–8 seconds, or set the bowl in a small dish of hot water, until it becomes a clear liquid. Let it cool for 1 minute — it should be fluid but not hot.
