HEALTHY TUNA GRAIN BOWL WITH TURMERIC SWEET POTATOES AND SPICY YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss the sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper on the prepared baking sheet until evenly coated. Roast until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the frozen brown rice according to package directions; keep warm. Toss the sliced cabbage, carrot ribbons, the juice from 1 lime half, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well dressed and combined.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lime halves into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt, fish sauce, chili paste, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Divide the warm rice among 4 shallow bowls (about 3/4 cup per bowl). Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage-carrot slaw, tuna (about 1/4 cup per bowl), edamame and sliced scallions. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.

TUNA SALAD BOWLS

Steps:

• Cut the head of lettuce in half. Using a large spoon, hollow out the center of each half to create a bowl with walls that are about 1 inch thick. If the lettuce "bowl" is a little wobbly, then slice off a sliver from the rounded bottom to create a flat surface. Shred all of the lettuce that has been removed and set aside.
• Place the tuna in a medium bowl and break it up into smaller chunks with a fork. Add the pickles, parsley, scallions and shredded lettuce, and toss together so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tuna water (plus more if the dressing is too thick) and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the tuna and toss well until evenly coated. Divide the mixture between the prepared lettuce bowls, mounding into the center of each.
• Poach the eggs: Crack each egg into separate small bowls. Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gently tip each egg into the simmering water and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and leave the eggs in the hot water until set, about 8 minutes. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and drain in the spoon over a paper towel to remove any excess water.
• Lightly butter the toasts and cut each in half diagonally. Arrange the toast points on top of the tuna salad and then place the poached egg on top of the toast points. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over each egg. Serve immediately.
