Recipes your microbiome will thank you for

Everyday meals built around two simple ideas: plenty of plant fiber, and something fermented most days. Nothing here needs a specialty shop.

Dinner

Lentil, leek & turmeric stew

30 min

Why it helps: Lentils deliver both soluble fiber and polyphenols; leeks and garlic are prebiotic staples.

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 2 leeks + 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin
  • 400ml vegetable stock, squeeze of lemon

Soften leeks and garlic, add spices and lentils, pour in stock and simmer 20 min. Finish with lemon.

Dinner

Kimchi cauliflower fried rice

15 min

Why it helps: Fermented kimchi plus cruciferous fiber, with cooled rice for extra resistant starch.

  • 1 cup day-old cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1 cup riced cauliflower
  • 1 egg, sesame oil, spring onion

Fry cauliflower and rice hot and fast, push aside and scramble the egg, then fold kimchi through at the very end.
