This recipe comes from Dr Mark Hyman from his book 'Food - What the Heck Should I Cook?'

It is a simple and easy way to increase a food that is bacteria friendly into your diet. Within 20 minutes you can add a spoonful of beet-pickled onions to whatever you are eating to support the good bugs in your gut.

Enjoy!

Whats not to like?  It takes about an 30 minutes to throw together, allow the flavours to combine, and then have on the table.

It is a devine colour, and the apple cider vinegar will help prevent or reduce gut inflammation. 

You need just 5 ingredients.  If you have them in your kitchen, get cracking now!

 

Ingredients

 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
 1 tbsp minced peeled red beetroot (raw)
 ½ cup apple cider vinegar
 5 whole black peppercorns

Directions

1

Place the onion, beet, vinegar, salt and peppercorns in a small glass jar, cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Leftovers will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge

2

Add a tablespoon of the pickles to your meal. In this case I had it with some spiced rice and a fried egg plus an avocado sauce that I made with some citrus juice and garlic.
