Lamb Tagine with Prunes and Apricots is a traditional Moroccan dish known for its rich flavors and combination of savory and sweet ingredients. The dish is typically slow-cooked in a tagine pot, allowing the lamb to become tender and infuse with aromatic spices, while the prunes and apricots add a natural sweetness and depth of flavor. This dish is not only delicious but offers a wealth of nutritional benefits, making it a perfect addition to a healthy, balanced diet.

Lamb is a high-quality source of protein and essential nutrients. Rich in iron, zinc, and B vitamins, lamb plays a vital role in supporting muscle growth, immune function, and overall health.

Salads need never be boring again with this zesty lemon tahini dressing.

Simply add all the ingredients, shake them up, and you’re ready to go.

Tahini is a soft paste made from sesame seeds. These seeds may be tiny but they pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. Sesamol, the active ingredient in sesame seeds, inhibits inflammatory pathways in the body and has been shown to have therapeutic potential against inflammatory diseases, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders (Javed et al, 2023).

Alongside sesamol, sesame seeds provide plenty of calcium, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, and copper – essential minerals for energy production, bone health, hormone balance, and more.

Fresh lemon juice balances the nutty taste of tahini to make this the perfect uplifting dressing for fish, chicken, and salads of all kinds.

These crab cakes are perfect for breakfast, a light lunch, or as a starter to a main meal. Crab meat is high in protein and a good source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. Omega-3s support heart, brain, and joint health and are vital to a healthy diet.

Unlike many store-bought crab cakes filled with breadcrumbs and cheap seed oils, our recipe uses ground almonds, egg, and coconut yogurt to bind the mixture together. Red peppers, scallions, zucchini, and dill bring flavor, fiber, and phytochemicals to delight your tastebuds and nourish your gut microbiome.

Enjoy these delicious crab cakes any day of the week as part of your anti-inflammatory meal plan.
