Ingredients

Sorghum
  • 1 cup uncooked sorghum 180 g
  • 3 cups water 708 mL
Roasted Vegetables
  • 2 carrots
  • ½ lb Brussels sprouts about 2 cups halved, 226 g
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 lemon
  • ⅓ oz thyme about 20 sprigs
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

  • ¼ cup dried cherries 30 g
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds 30 g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sorghum: Combine sorghum and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, until water is absorbed, then fluff sorghum with a fork.
  2. Roasted Vegetables: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Peel and cut carrots into ¼ inch (½ cm) coins. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Peel and cut onion into large chunks. Zest the lemon (reserve zest for later), then cut the lemon in half. Place veggies, lemon, and thyme sprigs onto a baking sheet and drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything. Bake for 25 minutes, or until veggies are soft and golden at the edges. Discard thyme sprigs.
  3. Dressing: Squeeze the lemon juice from the roasted lemons into a bowl. Stir in 3 Tbsp olive oil, half of the feta, and season with salt and pepper. Stir about a third of the dressing into the cooked sorghum.
  4. Assemble: In a large bowl, toss together roasted vegetables, reserved lemon zest, remaining dressing, cherries, and almonds. Spoon cooked sorghum into serving bowls, topping with roasted vegetable mixture.

Notes

  • Storage: These bowls can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Just keep the cheese, dried cherries, and almonds separate so you can reheat the sorghum and vegetables on their own.
