Sicilian Eggplants

This dish was inspired by Yalda’s trip to Sicily.

So many civilizations have settled there over the centuries, leaving – amongst other things- the most amazing culinary heritage.

A lot of the food reminded Yalda of her mother’s country, Morocco, and, more specifically, the city of Fez. She couldn’t believe how similar their pastries, “dolci sicilliani” were to her maternal grandmother’s. Looking into it further, she realized that the cities of Granada in Spain, Fez in Morocco, Palermo in Sicily, and Tlemcen in Algeria were all part of al-Andalus, i.e., Andalusian cities, where language and culinary traditions were very similar.

Eating anti-inflammatory, nutrient-packed, gut-healthy recipes will reduce your chronic inflammation and put conditions into remission. The best part is that they are incredibly delicious.

Eggplants are a rich source of manganese, magnesium, potassium, and copper. and they are gut-healthy and anti-inflammatory. Their nutritional compounds, like oxalic acid, flavonoids, lanosterol, and tryptophan, for instance, contribute to putting diseases into remission. When eaten as part of a gut-healthy diet, that is.

Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its potency in gut health. Each recipe has been carefully created with taste as a top priority.

These Sicilian eggplants are easy to make and are a wonderful side to roast chicken and baked white fish. Serve with salads if you make a barbecue during the summer or quinoa if you want to stick to vegetable options.
