Aubergine & Walnut Ragu

Italian food is one of my go-to cuisines when I’m making a meal for more than four people.

The simplicity of ingredients and cooking method...s make it much less stressful in the kitchen, so you can focus on enjoying the company of your guests. Here, I’ve drastically reduced the amount of time it takes to make a traditional ragu and added nutrient-dense vegetables at every step. The nuts provide Omega-3 fats, plus lentils give the dish a good amount of fibre.

In combination, these ingredients have a positive impact on your gut microbes, lower inflammation and taste delicious. I usually serve this with a simple green salad as it’s quite satisfying. Read more Italian food is one of my go-to cuisines when I’m making a meal for more than four people.
