Shopping List

For the Bowl
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 (15 ounce) cans beans of choice (drained & rinsed)
- 4 cups veg (such as broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin, or beets)
- 4 cups greens (such as kale or spinach)
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- hemp seeds (optional, for topping) For the Tahini Sauce
- 1/4 cup tahini (Note 1)
- 1/4 olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook or defrost the brown rice according to package directions. As a reference, 1 cup of dry brown rice typically yields around 3 cups cooked.
- Step 2: Stir together the tahini sauce ingredients in a small bowl or jar until smooth. Set aside.
- Step 3: Chop the vegetables and leafy greens of choice into bite-sized.
- Step 4: Let's steam the vegetables in a steamer basket (we use this one). Boil 1 inch of water in a pot and then place the vegetables in the steamer basket. Steam until the vegetables are fork-tender and vibrant in color, but not mushy. For broccoli or cauliflower, this will take around 4 to 6 minutes. Place the steamed vegetables in ice-water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set the vegetables aside.
- Serve: Assembly time! Build your bowls with warm rice, greens, steamed vegetables, beans, and sauerkraut. Drizzle with tahini sauce and optional hemp seeds. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Good quality tahini will make a world of difference here. Look for a light-colored tahini that is quite runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive. Our favorite is this tahini.
