Spicy Shakshuka
A wonderful dish to make over the weekend. This spicy shakshuka contains onions which are part of the allium family of vegetables. These have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. These compounds work hand in hand with other micronutrients to improve immune function and prevent disease.
