About This Recipe

Before the introduction of Western eating habits, countries such as Japan, China and India historically had low incidences of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes – and this may have been down to some of the herbs and spices they freely use. 


This Aromatic Nage takes some of those herbs and spices and packs them into a broth that is full of flavour and naturally fortified with hidden vitamins. After simmering for a few hours, pureeing the skins and fibrous tissues not only acts as a thickener, but adds much-needed, gut-healthy fibre to the diet. 


Ingredients, such as garlic, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and chillies, all support the immune system, while garlic and onions are also great for improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.
