Veggie and Brown Rice Bowl
When you want to eat the rainbow, the easiest thing you can do is throw as many colorful and vibrant veggies into a grain bowl as possible. These bowls are healthy and flavorful, a wonderful 2-for-1 when it comes to cooking. We used our Ancient Halaby and Marrakesh Sitar spice blends to roast the veggies in and turmeric for a delicious honey lemon dressing. The beauty of this bowl is you can mix up the veggies to satisfy what you’re craving and/or use what’s in the fridge.
