Winter Warmer Series
Ingredients: Serves two as a main with leftovers!
– 1/2 a head of organic cauliflower
– 1 head of organic broccoli
– 1/2 a cup of organic peas
– Four stems of organic black kale
– 1 cup of organic lentils
– 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
– 1 teaspoon of cumin
– 1 teaspoon of turmeric
– 1 tablespoon of raw buckwheat
– Spiced Quark (refer below for recipe)
Method:
1) Wash hands and vegetables
2) Place one cup of lentils with three cups of water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Once boiling, turn down heat and allow lentils to simmer with lid on. Keep an eye on the lentils, adding small dashes of water if needed
3) Meanwhile, break apart the cauliflower and place into a food processor. You want the cauliflower to resemble ‘rice’
4) In a large saucepan or wok place the cauliflower with a teaspoon of cumin and a teaspoon of turmeric. Sauté the cauliflower for a few minutes and then turn down the heat and place the lid on
4) Cut up the kale leaves into smaller segments (also cutting and using the stems – no wasting food!) and break apart broccoli head
5) In another large saucepan or wok with one teaspoon of coconut oil, sauté the kale with the broccoli and peas. We like to salute our greens with bone broth that we pre make and leave in the freezer. Adding a dash of water will also work. Sauté for a few minutes then turn down the heat and place the lid on
6) In a small pan, lightly toast the raw buckwheat until golden
7) Grab a large mixing bowl. Combine 1 cup of cauliflower rice, the sautéed greens and around 2/3 cup of lentils. Mix all ingredients well. Feel free to add more cauliflower rice or lentils if you wish, there will be leftovers in the pan!
8) Place onto two plates and top each with one generous tablespoon of spiced quark and one teaspoon of toasted buckwheat!
Enjoy!
