Ingredients

Servings

For the tahini sauce:

  • 1/4 cup tahini ground sesame paste
  • 2 tbsp tamari or to taste, I don't like my food that salty
  • 1 lemon juiced (3-4 tbsp, but you can do this to taste. I love lemon a lot)
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • cayenne pepper powder or hot sauce; optional; for extra oomph

Per bowl:

  • 1 cup brown rice steamed; per serving
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups kale fresh
  • salt to taste, a pinch
  • 1 lemon about 1/2 tsp of juice for the kale, squeeze
  • 1/4 cup chickpeas cooked and drained
  • 1/2 carrot peeled and grated

Optional garnishes:

  • hemp seed
  • sesame seeds toasted
  • nutritional yeast

Instructions

Prep:

  1. Cook the rice (I use a rice cooker).
  2. Grate the carrots.
  3. Strip the kale, tear it into bite sized pieces, wash well, and all that jazz.
  4. Whisk all ingredients together for the tahini sauce. Adjust according to taste (add more tamari if you like it saltier, less lemon juice if you don't like it as tangy). Set aside.
  5. To sauté the kale, preheat a skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tsp oil and kale and sauté until soft. If you want it a little more tender, add some water once the heat gets going to steam the kale in the pan. Remove from heat and finish with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to keep it perky and green.

To assemble the bowl:

  1. Layer the brown rice on the bottom.
  2. Arrange sautéed kale, chickpeas, and carrot, then drizzle about 2 tbsp of tahini sauce on top. Garnish with hemp seeds, toasted sesame seeds, or whatever your heart desires.
