This simple and easy lunch, or side dish is more powerful than it looks. Packed full of gut healing nutrients, it is a must for IBS sufferers. By paring back foods to their most simplistic form, you get to enjoy the flavours, textures and nutrients these foods from Mother Earth provide us.
The potatoes are slow release carbs that will keep you feeling fuller for longer as they convert into the body preferred energy source and drip feed your blood stream steadily for hours.
The broccoli contains incredible sulforaphane properties that allow it to convert fat soluble toxins into water based toxins and remove these from the body. It is no accident that the FODMAP diet completely remove this whole food group from the diet.
The courgette (zucchini) will provide you with additional flavour, fibre and also is a great source of folate, vitamin c and potassium which help to repair your gut lining on a cellular level.
I flavour mine with Celtic Salt, as this contains lots of useful minerals and a little crushed black pepper for added anti-oxidants. I eat like this when I want to lose weight, or feel like I have overindulged. This filling lunch, or handy side dish is a staple that I use weekly. I also add fresh green herbs, Basil, Coriander or Parsley to provide an extra boost to my gut health, providing even more nutrients and alkalising properties.

Ingredients

- Thoroughly wash and chop the veg. I hope the potatoes into small bite sized pieces to make them cook at the same rate as the greens. Adding the potatoes in one pan and the greens in another.
- The potatoes should cook through in about 10 - 15 minutes depending on the size. The greens will need less, more like 8 - 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, add to a bowl, add your seasoning and chop the parsley for an extra boost of flavour and gut health!
