Alkaline Diet Recipes: Recipe Ideas

One of the most commonly discussed diets around is the alkaline diet. The core of it is consuming a heavy dose of fruits and vegetables, which as we all know is healthy for the body. This is not one of those diets that forces you to eat foods that you can't enjoy, you will have a variety of alkaline foods to select from each time you eat. It's important to familiarize yourself with as many alkaline diet recipes and foods so they that you can have as much variety as you would like.
An excellent alkaline diet recipe involves okra with coriander and tomatoes. It's a wonderful dish to have in the summer time and is very easy to make. This mouth-watering Mediterranean dish will require the following ingredients:
400g can chopped tomatoes
450g fresh okra
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 onions thinly sliced
2 tsp. coriander seeds crushed
3 garlic cloves crushed
finely grated rind
juice of a single lemon
Celtic sea salt
black pepper
The black pepper and Celtic sea salt really provides a great finishing touch.
Pour oil in your cooking pan and proceed to add coriander and onions. The okra should be cut first so it will be ready once the pan is hot enough. If you were to cut it up last minute, the onions might become too soft as they are frying. While making this dish, careful consideration should be given to timing
Now, tomatoes should be added and stirred. This mixture should cook for about 20 minutes, then you will top it off with salt, pepper, and lemon rind. The rest of the ingredients can be added and cooked for awhile longer before it's ready.
4 celery stalks, a lemon, a lime, fresh root ginger, and 1 cucumber are needed to make two margaritas. Himalayan salt adds the finishing touch. Using regular sea salt is fine, but this salt is best for margaritas. After everything has been juiced, try the drink to see how it tastes. The drink may need some more ginger, and then proceed to continue testing until it's just how you like it.
