This dish contains immune supportive ingredients. Mushrooms are immune modulating, while turmeric combats inflammation, and onions and garlic are antimicrobial. It includes tomatoes, which are high in the antioxidant lycopene and B vitamin - folate, both support heart health. The additional beans are a great source of fiber and plant based protein that aids in blood sugar management. This meal is light, but satiating.
