Shakshuka for One

This flavoursome dish is loaded with lycopene, a phytochemical that gives tomatoes their bright red colour and many important health benefits. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that has anti-cancerous properties. It has also been found to help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease. Tomatoes are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that help protect the eyes from blue light from computers, phones and TVs, and can lower the risk of age- related eye conditions such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

Feta Za’atar-Filled Flatbreads

Za’atar is a spice blend used in Middle Eastern cooking. The blend will vary from region to region. Most za’atar blends contain sesame seeds, thyme, marjoram, oregano, salt and sumac. For this recipe I have bought a good-quality store-bought za’atar. Serve with the Tunisian Mashed Carrot Salad.

Tunisian Mashed Carrot Salad (Ummak Huriyya)

Ummak huriyya is a traditional Tunisian dish using boiled mashed carrots. I have been inspired by this dish
and added some of my own touches. I have roasted the carrots instead of boiling so the flavour of the carrots is
sweeter and more intense. I’ve also added toasted pine nuts to add some extra crunch and texture.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

GF V
This healthy fried rice goes perfectly as a side dish served with salmon, chicken or tofu. Pineapple is a fabulous source of vitamin C, which is essential for a strong-functioning immune system, healthy skin and is needed for iron absorption. Pineapple is also loaded with phytochemicals called flavonoids, which have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help protect against cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancers.

Thai Almond Satay Tofu Skewers

Tofu will provide you with a good dose of non-haem iron. This important mineral is needed for strengthening the immune system. We need good levels of iron to produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us from viruses and bacteria and other illness-causing microbes. People with low iron levels often have weakened immune function and are more vulnerable to catching colds and flu and other infections.
