IBS-Friendly Egg Shakshuka
Hey fellow IBS sufferers! I want to share with you another IBS-friendly recipe that I find really delicious and great for anytime of the day. I have created my own version of Shakshuka, which is a popular dish amongst many groups in the Middle East, and even North Africa. It is simply an egg dish where the eggs are poached in tomato sauce and a mixture of seasonings and vegetables. I have made my own rendition of this dish that is IBS-friendly, and hopefully some of you will be willing to give it a try and tell me what you think. Here it is…
