Alkaline Main Dishes: Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a traditional French Provencal stewed vegetable dish, with tomatoes, zucchini, pepper bell and eggplant being the key ingredients.
Ratatouille is usually served as a side dish, but also may be served as a meal on its own. Because of its many fresh vegetables, Ratatouille makes a perfect dish for an Alkaline Diet.
Wash and scrub all the vegetables. Dice the tomatoes and pepper bell and slice the zucchinis, the eggplant as well as the onion and the garlic in thin slices.
Heat some olive oil in a pot (or wok) and sauté the onions and the garlic for a couple of minutes.
Then add the eggplant and zucchini slices as well as the pepper bell and stir-fry for around 8 minutes. Then add the cup of water, the tomatoes and the herbs, stir well and let cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender but not too soft.
Taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Enjoy this delicious Alkaline Ratatouille!
