This shakshuka is a great breakfast because it’ll set you up for success with all the vitamins, minerals, protein, and healthy fats.
Fennel is a truly versatile, aromatic food, so I wanted to create a recipe using it! It is an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, trace minerals, and the anticancer coumarin compound. Fennel is an intestinal antispasmodic, a carminative, a stomachic, and an anodyne. A truly healing food when dealing with digestive dysfunction.
You also get the benefits of the parsley (reduces bloating) or cilantro (protects against heavy metals), the garlic (antimicrobial), and the nutritional yeast if used (very rich in b vitamins). Of course, everything else is healthy as well but these that I’ve mentioned have a very therapeutic effect on the digestive system in particular.

One of my favorites because it’s so different than the typical meal. We eat this for dinner regularly. The sauce is so good, I love it left over on toast or pasta.
That makes me beyond happy to hear! I love a good switch up from the usual too. And you are so smart to use leftover sauce for toast or pasta! I’m going to have to try that!
