This Persian Lamb and Eggplant Stew is a delicious tribute to ancient Persian cuisine, blending rich flavors with deeply nourishing ingredients to create a healing, gut-friendly meal for the whole family.

At the heart of this dish is pasture-fed lamb—a superior protein source naturally lower in cholesterol and higher in omega-3s, vitamin B12, and folate. These nutrients support mood regulation, immune strength, thyroid function, and joint health. Regular consumption of gut-healthy meals like this stew also helps lower inflammation and protects against degenerative conditions and cardiovascular issues.

Eggplants, the star vegetable in this dish, are packed with powerful antioxidants and bioactive compounds. They help regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation in the brain and joints, and support respiratory and heart health. Their fiber content promotes a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for digestion and long-term health.

Fresh limes bring a zesty brightness and healing punch. Rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, and flavonoids, limes enhance immunity, improve iron absorption, and aid digestion. As you pound or squeeze them into the stew, you're adding more than flavor—you’re infusing the dish with powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

This Persian Lamb and Eggplant Stew is especially beneficial for pregnant and lactating mothers, as it’s rich in essential nutrients that support both maternal and fetal health. And like all Eat Burn Sleep recipes, it’s free from inflammatory ingredients and designed to work with your body’s healing processes.

Enjoy a bowl of this warm, comforting stew and know you're doing something wonderful for your gut, your brain, and your entire body.
