Healing Rainbow Buddha Bowl
If you want to eat better, eating the rainbow is a fundamental healthy eating tip, making eating healthy easy and fun.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa white
- 1 bunch parsley chopped
- 1 bunch mint chopped
- 1 bunch basil chopped
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cabbage shredded
- 1 bundle asparagus
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 avocado ripe
- 1/2 lemon
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp herb mix
Instructions
- Start by cooking quinoa. I cook my quinoa in a rice cooker by adding 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Spiralise or grate the carrot. Lightly cook it in the frying pan using only water. Add garlic powder, dried herbs and salt to taste.
- Shred red cabbage into small pieces. Cook it the same way as a carrot by only using water and spices.
- Cook cauliflower florets with a little bit of water then add turmeric, paprika and salt. Cook until crisp-tender but try to not overcook it. When you cook vegetables without oil, you just want to make them a bit softer, so it’s easier to digest. The goal is to not overcook them, so most of the nutrients stay intact.
- You can use the same method for asparagus, or simply place it in the steamer or in the steaming basket over the pot with boiling water.
- Thinly slice half of the avocado.
- Mix freshly cut herbs with quinoa and lemon juice. Place in the centre of the bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl mix tahini, finely chopped garlic, lemon juice and salt/pepper to taste. Add some water to achieve the desired consistency. Drizzle over Buddha bowl and serve.
