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 dish contains two of my favourite types of vegetables: peppers and tomatoes.
Peppers and tomatoes are packed with nutrients and are a good source of Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Potassium and Manganese, and are a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6 and Folate.
Both vegetables make great containers for various vegetable stuffings and this version uses typically Greek ingredients.
Feel free to vary this dish by using small aubergines or large courgettes, which also make good vegetables for stuffing.

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!
