Roasted Veggie Grain Bowl Food

ROASTED VEGGIE GRAIN BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• First, make the quinoa. Add the rinsed quinoa and water to a medium pot. Bring it to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork. This will yield about 3 cups; I used a heaping ½ cup per bowl.
• Next, make the sauce. Combine the pepitas, garlic, kale, cilantro lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, olive oil, water, and maple syrup or honey in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Then, roast the vegetables. Place the parsnips, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower on one large baking sheet. Place the broccolini on the second baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper, toss to coat, then spread evenly onto the sheets. Roast the parsnips/Brussels sprouts/cauliflower 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Roast the broccolini for 10 to 12 minute or until tender. When cool to the touch, chop up the broccolini stems.
• Assemble bowls with a scoop of quinoa, the roasted vegetables, about ¼ cup chickpeas, and a scoop of sauerkraut and top with pepitas. Drizzle with the sauce. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve. I assembled these components into 2 bowls (although the whole recipe will make 4) and saved the leftovers for tomorrow's dinner - stay tuned!
• Store the extra sauce, quinoa, and remaining chickpeas in the fridge.

FARRO AND ROASTED VEGETABLE GRAIN BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the squash, bell pepper and fennel each in their own section on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat them, keeping each in its own section. Roast for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the greens with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper on another baking sheet. Set aside.
• After 20 minutes, remove the roasted vegetables and flip them over. The vegetables will be brown on the first side and almost tender. Place back in the oven along with the greens and roast until the greens are wilted and the vegetables are completely tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes more. Let cool.
• While the vegetables cool, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the orange and lemon juice, honey, Dijon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Slowly stream in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Once cooled, dice the roasted peppers and fennel into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, toss together the roasted vegetables, greens, Big Batch Farro and vinaigrette. At this point you can store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. When ready to serve, add to a serving bowl and top with the feta, fennel fronds and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
• Bring a large pot of water (about 3 quarts) to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt; the water should be well seasoned like you are cooking pasta. Pour in the farro and stir. Lower the heat slightly so the water is at a rapid simmer. Cook the farro until tender with a slight chew, 13 to 15 minutes. Immediately drain the farro and run under cold water to cool completely. Drain again to remove excess liquid. Makes 4 cups.
