Healing inflammatory bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and diverticulitis can be a truly enjoyable experience with Eat Burn Sleep. This Regular Shakshuka is a perfect example of how food can be both therapeutic and delicious.
Each ingredient in this dish is carefully selected to provide healing macro and micronutrients while remaining easy to digest. Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, an antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Bell peppers offer high levels of vitamins A and C, which help regulate the immune system. Garlic and onions not only add depth of flavor but also support the gut with natural prebiotic compounds.
Eggs, the main protein source in shakshuka, deliver essential amino acids, B vitamins, and choline to support brain health, cell repair, and energy production. Olive oil offers healthy monounsaturated fats that reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular and digestive health.
This shakshuka is more than just a comforting meal. It’s part of a dietary approach designed to restore gut health, support immune function, and help regulate inflammation throughout the body. By choosing anti-inflammatory meals like this, you actively promote a balanced gut microbiome, which plays a central role in long-term health and disease prevention.
Enjoy this Regular Shakshuka for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, knowing that each bite contributes to gut healing and full-body well-being.

Fry the onions and garlic with the olive oil in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and a good amount of moisture has come out of them.

Crack the eggs in, and cover, leaving an opening for the excess water to evaporate. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Nutrition
This Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Prunes is a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish that’s perfect for entertaining or enjoying a comforting, nutritious meal at home. With only 15 minutes of preparation time and 45 minutes of cooking, this tagine is both easy and impressive.
The Moroccan chicken tagine is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free, making it ideal for people with food intolerances. Optional almonds add a crunchy texture and extra nutrients if desired.
What sets this Moroccan chicken tagine apart is not only the delicious spice blend but the nutrient-rich ingredients. Prunes are a fantastic source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. They support digestion, bone health, and blood sugar regulation while adding a beautiful depth of sweetness to the dish.
Sesame seeds, often sprinkled on top or stirred in, provide healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, and powerful antioxidants like sesamin and sesamol. These seeds support heart health, reduce inflammation, and aid hormone balance.

Serve your Moroccan chicken tagine with fluffy saffron rice—a beautiful nod to Yalda’s Moroccan and Persian heritage—or pair it with quinoa or even cauliflower rice for a lighter option.
Delicious, nourishing, and healing all at once, this is a dish you’ll want to come back to again and again.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken legs (you can use any cut, keep the skin on. 2 cups or 250g of chicken per person, bones included)
- 2 large onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 1/8 cups or 200g of prunes
- 1 cup or 150g of flaked or blanched almonds
- 2 tbsp of honey
- 1 pinch of saffron
- 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
- salt, pepper, sunflower, or olive oil
Directions
In a large pot, brown the chicken in a little bit of oil. Add the sliced onion and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper and make the onions sweat for about 7 minutes on medium heat.
Add the saffron, cinnamon, and fresh ginger. Pour 300ml of water in the pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Add prunes and honey and let it cook for a further 10 minutes.
In a small pan, brown the almonds, being careful not to burn them. The trick is to remove them from the heat when they just start to brown as they carry on cooking afterward.
Serve the chicken in a dish. Decorate with the almonds and the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
