This week’s alkaline recipe does not only taste great, but also looks quite something on your plate! It contains kale leaves used as rolls which are filled with mouthwatering chickpeas and basmati rice topped with a spicy tomato salsa.
Kale is a leafy green vegetable belonging to the cabbage family, which is highly alkalising and nutritious with powerful antioxidant properties. Kale is very high in vitamin K, vitamin C, beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and rich in calcium.
The other core ingredients chickpeas and brown basmati rice are also rich in nutrients and the tomato salsa is flavoursome and spicy!

For the first alkaline recipe in 2011 we chose this delicious, healthy and flavoursome vegetable stew. This recipe is very popular in Arabic countries due to its abundance of oriental spices.
This stew contains a range of alkalising vegetables such as peppers, carrots, potatoes, courgettes, onions and fresh chilli which are all packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The use of a variety of spices give this stew a delicious taste and the chickpeas a crunchy texture.
We hope you enjoy this Arabic Vegetable Stew as much as we do!

This warming and alkalising chickpea soup has got delicious arabic flavours given by spices like cumin and coriander.
Chickpeas are a very versatile type of pulse, which are used for a wide variety of dishes like stews. They are also highly nutritious and are a good source of protein, folate and zinc. They are also high in dietary fiber and low in fat.
I really like the smooth texture and oriental flavours in this alkalising chickpea soup, which are complemented by other ingredients like garlic, carrots, onions and celery.

This is another light and tasty dish containing one of the healthiest vegetables on earth – spinach!
This week we thought it is a good idea to feature another recipe with spinach as the main ingredient, as we have written an article about alkaline-mineral rich foods and spinach tops every other vegetable!
Spinach is an excellent source of all the primary alkaline minerals magnesium, potassium, iron, manganese and iron.
So enjoy and take in all the goodness of this superfood!
