Okay so I do realise that yakitori belongs on a skewer but stop ruining my fun and love of food in a bowl. This has all the flavours of yakitori marinade but you don’t need to put the meat on a skewer or have a grill/open flame to cook it on. So it’s yakitori, but less effort.
QUINOA BIBIMBAP BOWL WITH SPICY CABBAGE AND BROCCOLI
Well hello there you spicy-flavour-texture-bomb-colourful bowl of goodness you. This is not my first vegetarian bibimbap. It’s more of a green and pink affair than the last one and I’m totally into the colour combo. And the flavours. Everything on this is yelling at you but when you get them all together they harmonise.
CHICKPEA AND BARLEY SALAD WITH PARMESAN DRESSING
This chickpea salad is the kind of salad that will have a chickpea salad hater scooping up every last chickpea. Seriously. That dressing and chickpeas are meant to be. It’s a love story. A Parmesan laced love story.
SALMON, FENNEL AND PEA PASTA
This pasta. This pasta is everything. Soft, gently cooked, flakes of salmon tossed with al dente orecchiette that scoops up the peas and herbs. Plus, the fennel and lemon are the perfect thing to compliment salmon. This pasta is light and flavoursome. Fresh spring flavours in a bowl.
CRISPY SATAY TOFU WITH COCONUT RICE AND CUCUMBER, AVOCADO SALAD
I’m going to start this post by saying I’m not really into tofu. I think it can be really bland sometimes and I’m not always into the spongy texture. This tofu is none of those things. This tofu I love. It’s crispy on the outside, smothered in satay sauce and nice and soft in the centre. This is the tofu that has converted me.
6 HEALTHY SANDWICHES, ROLLS AND WRAPS THAT WILL UP YOUR LUNCH GAME
A really good sandwich or roll is so satisfying. Yummy flavour combinations between two pieces of bread and you end up so far from the soggy nightmares of your school days. I’ve been known to happily eat a sandwich for dinner (ummm has anybody not done this?). In reality they’re just another version of a burger and that’s dinner food so why not all other sandwiches? Come on, give me one reason?! They’ve got all the parts of a nourishing meal, complex carbohydrate, vegetables, protein. You can even have a side salad if it’ll make you feel like it’s more of a meal.
LENTIL AND FREEKAH SALAD WITH APRICOTS FETA AND RED CABBAGE
This is sort of the third salad I’ve posted this week… whoops! This was clearly not well planned, but it’s all I feel like eating at the moment. This one is super filling due to the lentils and freekah and can easily become a stand alone meal with the addition of some grilled chicken or a soft boiled egg. Perfection.
ZA’ATAR ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SPICED RICE, MINT, POMEGRANATE AND LABNEH
Guess what? I’m cooking with cauliflower again! I know this is no surprise. My obsession has been well documented throughout this blog. This is a super tasty salad that looks a little fancy on the plate. Because you deserve something fancy looking.
CUCUMBER, CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH MISO MARINATED CHICKEN
Get ready for the salad that will become your summer obsession. It’s light and tasty with enough healthy fats and protein in it to keep you full. Sunshine in a bowl!
BOWL FOOD: 12 HEALTHY BOWL FOOD IDEAS TO GET YOU THROUGH PARTY SEASON
Most days either my lunch or dinner is some sort of bowl food. Because things eaten from a bowl with just one utensil are somehow simpler and better… well maybe not better (I feel this is unfair to all the other delicious non-bowl food out there) but really good!
