Ingredients:
Chickpea Mixture
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½-1 cup finely chopped onions (to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated turmeric
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper (to your taste)
- ¼ cup vegetable broth concentrate
- 1 (15oz.) can Garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
Arugula Salad
- 1-2 handfuls of arugula
- ½ small head of radicchio
- 2 radishes
- Anti-Inflammatory Superseed + Nut Blend sachet
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Pepper (to your taste)
Toppings
- ⅓ cup rice, cooked in advance and cooled in fridge (suggested: wild or black forbidden rice)
- ½ cup sweet potatoes (cut into 1” pieces, roasted in advance, and cooled in fridge)
- ⅓ avocado
- 1-2 tablespoons kimchi
Directions:
- Add olive oil to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and slowly cook until they are light brown.
- Add coriander, cumin, turmeric, red pepper, salt and pepper to taste, and vegetable broth concentrate. Let cook for 1-2 minutes and then add drained garbanzo beans. Keep on low to medium heat and let the beans cook and simmer in the sauce.
- Prepare the arugula salad. Take ½ of a small head of radicchio and chop finely. Do the same with the two radishes. In a medium-sized bowl, add arugula, our Anti-Inflammatory Superseed + Nut Blend, and chopped radicchio and radishes.
- Prepare the arugula salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper to taste. Add this to the arugula salad and toss together.
