Winter Buddha Bowl

December 9, 2024 //  by Christy

I got a number of requests for this recipe when I posted a picture of it on Facebook and Instagram recently. Inspired by a bowl recipe in the book Brain Food by Dr. Lisa Mosconi, it is full of healthy proteins, cruciferous vegetables, good fats, fiber and fermented microbiome nourishers.

Winter Buddha Bowl – Serves 4

For the bowl:

  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 3 cups halved Brussels sprouts
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 cups chopped kale
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried
  • 1-2 packages tempeh, crumbled
  • Optional: cauliflower, radish or any other vegetable of your choice
  • olive oil
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked farro
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • Your choice of pickled/fermented vegetables (like kimchi)

 

For the dressing (this makes a lot, so you’ll have extra on hand for the next time you want to make this recipe!):

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 2 small garlic cloves (substitute garlic powder if you don’t like raw garlic)
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 4 T hemp seeds
  • 2 T sunflower seed butter
  • 1 t miso (red or yellow, your choice)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (or more to taste)
  • 3 T tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • salt + pepper to taste

 

For the vegetables:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place vegetables (except kale) in a large bowl and toss with salt, pepper and a couple Tablespoons of olive oil. Place on a baking sheet. Separate kale, chickpeas and crumbled tempeh on another baking sheet and drizzle all with a couple Tablespoons of olive oil. Place both baking sheets in pre-heated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir half-way through the ensure nothing burns. Kale will get crisp but shouldn’t burn.

For the dressing:

Soak cashews for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Rinse and discard water. Place cashews and the rest of the dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy.

To prepare the bowl:

Place the farro in a bowl, arrange roasted vegetables on top. Add avocado and fermented veggies. (Don’t leave them out!) Drizzle dressing over everything. Enjoy!
