Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas or lentils
  • 1 large sweet potato cut into cubes
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 kale leaves roughly chopped
  • 2 medium carrots peeled into ribbons
  • ¾ cup sauerkraut or any fermented vegetable
  • 1 watermelon radish or 2 red radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds or hemp seeds
  • Lemon wedge for squeezing
  • Turmeric Tahini Sauce for serving
  • Microgreens optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cubed sweet potato with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden and tender.
  • Meanwhile, use a mandoline to thinly slice the radishes into delicate rounds, and peel the carrots into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Combine the radish slices, carrot ribbons, and shredded red cabbage in a bowl, and toss them with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Set this vibrant mixture aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, place the chopped kale leaves. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the kale, add a pinch of salt, and massage the leaves with your hands. Continue until the kale softens, wilts, and reduces in volume by about half.
  • To assemble the bowls, start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa, followed by a portion of chickpeas or lentils. Add a handful of the massaged kale, a serving of the lemony radish, carrot, and cabbage mixture, and a generous scoop of the roasted sweet potatoes. Top it off with a spoonful of sauerkraut, a sprinkle of sesame seeds or hemp seeds, and some microgreens if desired. Finally, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve with a side of Turmeric Tahini Sauce for drizzling over the top.
