Note on ingredients: Tomatoes are in the nightshade family and can cause inflammation in sensitive people. Black pepper is a suspect spice on the Bulletproof Diet, and highly susceptible to performance-robbing mold toxins. To reduce your risk, omit pepper or grind it fresh using high-quality whole peppercorns.
Note on cooking method: Slow cooking is “suspect” on the Bulletproof Diet because it can lead to overcooked food, which produces toxic compounds. To reduce your risk, use the shortest cook times recommended and season with antioxidant-rich herbs like oregano or turmeric to combat some of these effects.
