Aubergine Stew with Spicy Chick PeasThis alkaline and spicy aubergine and chick pea stew can be found all over the Mediterranean, but is particularly popular in the Lebanon.

As most of the Mediterranean dishes this stew is packed with a range of spices, which gives it its different flavours and gets your taste buds tingling.

Apart from being extremely delicious it is also very healthy and alkaline, as aubergines and chick peas are packed with nutrients, which are important for good health. Aubergines are a good source of folic acid and potassium and also help the formation of free radicals. Chick peas contain high levels of protein, zinc and folate.

Chickpea Kale Rolls with Tomato SalsaThis 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!

Oriental Vegetable StewFor 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!

Alkaline Diet Recipe #89: Tunisian Chickpea Soup

by Ross on September 22, 2010

Tunisian Chickpea SoupThis 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.
