The Spices

This mix of turmeric and paprika is a simple, light flavour they use a lot in the Middle East for chicken but generally more in stews or couscous. But the spice combines ideally and helps Turmeric become super beneficial as the humble black pepper, an American study is currently showing the dynamic between those two ingredients is the perfect combo to fight Arthritis and restore kidney functions (Check the study here).

The Different Sides

Spinach + Lime = Perfect Combo

The other sides are a simple vapour-cooked spinach for some greens, super healthy when you eat with a squeeze of lime. This study showed that pairing spinach or any deep green leaves with vitamin C (lemon, lime, orange) helps to break down the spinach’s iron and make it more easily absorbed by the body.

The Other Sides

High Protein Bowl

The white bean salad is made ‘salad style’ with a dressing, fresh dill, and red pepper. As for the cucumbers, they are to bring this fresh bite to the bowl. The grilled halloumi because don’t we like cheese in our bowls? Again bringing in proteins and a salty touch.

To finish the High Protein Bowl a Rye bread slice to pick up the juice leftover at the bottom.

Variations

You could always add a lovely quinoa in there, or a simple beetroot salad. This dish is highly customizable! You are the chef!
