Recipe: Ancient Grains Buddha Bowl (like at True Food!)

Ancient Grains Buddha Bowl (like the Ancient Grains bowl at True Food)

See link above to the recipe on UrbanFoodieKitchen.com

I heart the Ancient Grains bowl at True Food (restaurant) -- it's so healthy, hearty and flavorful, and I never feel bad eating it.  I can't recall exactly how much it costs at the restaurant, but it's at least $14 (not inexpensive).  I could understand why because there are so many components to it (miso glazed sweet potato, turmeric, charred onion, snow pea, grilled portobello, avocado, hemp seed).

In an effort to eat healthier, I searched for an "ancient grain bowl" recipe and found one from Urban Foodie Kitchen.  It was absolutely delicious and I would say at least as good or BETTER than the one at True Food.

There are a number of steps to making the dish (there are 3 sauces), but it's easy and worth it especially for the leftovers.  In short, the bowl consists of farro, sweet potato, onion baby bella mushrooms, tofu, avocado, a cilantro pesto, miso sauce and a turmeric-tahini sauce.

• Bowl Ingredients:  extra-firm tofu, baby bella mushrooms, sweet potato, onion, farro, avocado, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, garlic salt, water
• Cilantro Pesto Ingredients:  cilantro, toasted pepitas, garlic, parmesan cheese, fresh lime juice, olive oil
• Miso Sauce Ingredients:  rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, white miso, sesame oil
• Turmeric-Tahini Sauce Ingredients:  tahini, turmeric, fresh lemon juice, water, maple syrup

Tips/What We Changed:

• Used walnuts instead of pepitas
• Used a mix of regular and purple sweet potatoes

Bon Appetit!
