Winter vegan nourishing bowl

I LOOVVEE winter food, especially hearty soups and warming bowls of vegetables and beans BUT sometimes I like a fresh bowl of goodness too. By fresh I mean lots of raw veggies, leafy greens, kimchi and some rice or an alternative. For this dish I chose cauliflower rice as its my new favourite dietary staple :) Check out my vegan nourishing bowl below and let me know what you think:

You will need:

4 x big leaves of kale

1/2 a zucchini spiralised or julienned

1/2 a carrot spiralised or julienned

1/4 cup of borlotti beans

1/4 cup of chopped cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup of kimchi

1/2 cup of cauliflower rice (see below)

** optional extras: cooked salmon/fish, tofu, edamame beans etc

For the cauliflower rice (makes enough for 4 people as a side dish):

1/2 a cauliflower grated

pinch of chilli flakes

salt and pepper

Serves 1

Method:

  • Grate the cauliflower, heat some coconut oil in a pan and add the grated cauliflower. Reduce the heat and add in the seasoning, chilli (and any other spices/herbs you like). Be careful the cauliflower doesn't catch in the pan. Add a splash of water until the cauliflower has cooked

  • Spiralise the zucchini and carrot and leave to one side.

  • Chop the tomatoes and leave to one side.

  • Massage the kale with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt in a bowl until soft.

  • Arrange all of the ingredients in a bowl and serve.

  • Feel free to add some nutritional yeast and lemon juice or Apple Cider Vinegar for the dressing.

Enjoy x x
