Here is another easy winter weight loss nourish bowl for you to try. Plant diversity is key to optimal health, that’s why I try to incorporate different grains/lentils in my diet. Farro is packed with protein, fiber, iron & magnesium. It’s a great alternative to rice or quinoa if you need a change. This recipe makes about 2 servings. You will have left over Brussel sprouts, potatoes and onion for second servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry Farro (soaked overnight) (1 cup cooked for the bowl)

  • 1/2 lbs Brussel Sprouts (1.5 cups for the bowl)

  • 1 medium size sweet potato (1 cup cooked for the bowl)

  • 1 red onion

  • 1 orange

  • 1/2 cup canned chick peas (rinsed & washed)

  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

  • 2 toasted pecans (optional)

  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)

  • Spices for Brussel sprouts, potatoes & onion:

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tsp maple syrup

  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (+/-)

  • Salt per taste

  • Salad Dressing (1 serving):

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp tahini (optional)

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

  • salt & pepper per taste

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 F. Cut Brussel sprouts in half, thinly dice sweet potatoes and onion. In a bowl add all the spices with balsamic vinegar, toss veggies in and coat well. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or silicon baking matt, evenly spread veggies and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • While veggies are baking, In a medium size pot, cook Farro per package instructions. If you’ve soaked Farro overnight, it will speed up the cooking process. Any left overs can be stored in the fridge or freezer to be used later.
  • Make your dressing, adjust and keep aside. Thinly slice an orange and keep aside. Once everything is ready, prep your bowl, pour dressing on top, add hot sauce if you wish and enjoy.

Notes

  • Salad dressing is just enough for one serving, Feel free to double up the recipe for more.
  • You’ll have more than 2 servings worth of Farro, You can store the left over in the fridge to use later.
