Roasted cauliflower and quinoa Buddha bowl with lime

The Buddha bowl is not a specific recipe, but a serving philosophy: an artistic arrangement of grain, vegetable, protein and dressing. The essence is that the ingredients are not mixed together (like in a salad), but placed in sectors, offering a different flavour combination in every bite. The sweetness of roasted cauliflower goes brilliantly with the bitter-nutty taste of toasted almonds.

Instructions

1

Cook the quinoa in salted water. Break the cauliflower into florets, oil and salt them, and roast at 200°C until browned (20 minutes).

Tip: Cauliflower needs 'char' for flavour, don't take it out too early.
2

Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until pale golden.

Tip: Careful, due to their high oil content, almonds burn in moments.
3

In a bowl, arrange the spinach, quinoa and roasted cauliflower.

Tip: The warm cauliflower and quinoa wilt the spinach slightly, giving it a more pleasant texture.
4

Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice, sprinkle with the almonds and coriander.

Tip: This is a simple vinaigrette that ties the elements together.

Recipe FAQ

What can I use instead of almonds?
Use walnuts, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. The key is the crunch element.
