Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Turmeric Tahini Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, turmeric, and garlic powder. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.
  2. Cook the brown rice according to package directions. While the rice cooks, prepare your vegetables. You can roast sweet potato cubes at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Wash and prepare your raw vegetables: shred the red cabbage and rainbow carrots, and thinly slice the watermelon radish.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Place the cooked brown rice in the bottom of a bowl. Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes, shredded red cabbage, sliced watermelon radish, shredded carrots, kale, chickpeas, and sauerkraut on top of the rice.
  5. Drizzle generously with the prepared turmeric tahini sauce.
