Colorful plant-based Buddha bowl with spiced cauliflower florets, ancient grains, and drizzled creamy tahini dressing
Ingredients & Elements
- 1 Tattooed Chef Spiced Cauliflower Buddha Bowl (10 oz)
- Spiced roasted cauliflower florets (turmeric, smoked paprika, sea salt, olive oil)
- Cooked ancient grain blend (quinoa, wild brown rice, red rice)
- Tender chopped kale and shaved rainbow carrots
- Tahini dressing (ground sesame paste, lemon juice, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, water)
- Toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) and dried sweetened cranberries
- Optional fresh herb garnish: chopped mint and parsley
Toss in a handful of fresh baby arugula and toasted pine nuts right after heating to add temperature contrast and fresh peppery crunch.
Preparation Instructions
Vent film, cook on HIGH for 4.5 minutes, stir thoroughly and rest 1 minute.
Pierce Cooking Film
Remove bowl from outer sleeve. Puncture the plastic film 2-3 times with a fork to vent steam.
Microwave on HIGH
Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Check that the center grains are steaming.
Stir & Emulsify Dressing
Carefully remove film (hot steam). Stir thoroughly so the warm tahini sauce coats the ancient grains and cauliflower evenly.
Rest for 1 Minute
Let rest 60 seconds before enjoying. The grains absorb the dressing for maximum flavor.
