When you’re trying to switch to a low-fat lifestyle, it’s more important than ever to prepare flavorful, interesting meals. Learning how to incorporate spices into your dishes can make a big difference in taste, which makes up for the loss of fat. What’s more, spices can be very good for you: many of them have the effect of raising your metabolism, while others are known anti-oxidants.
The American Institute for Cancer Research has published an outstanding recipe for low-fat Mediterranean Vegetable Stew which is absolutely chock full of warm, sweet spices. It’s got cloves, chili powder, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, and lots of other Mediterranean flavors which make this healthy stew a treat to eat. It’s also loaded with filling, high-fiber beans and vegetables, like garbanzos, carrots, squash, and zucchini. This a stew guaranteed to fill you up and keep your tastebuds popping. It can be served with brown rice or couscous, for a completely authentic Mediterranean dish.
This is the kind of dish which makes eating healthy easy, accessible, and convenient. All the ingredients can be found in most supermarkets. If you don’t have the required spices on hand, it could well be worth picking them up – you’ll have them on hand to flavor other dishes. And it’s very easy to prepare – if you can chop veggies and simmer a broth, you’ve got it nailed. Best of all, it yields a generous six cups and stores well – and the flavors just get better the longer they mingle.
