Grilled Macrobiotic Bowl

Grilled Macrobiotic Bowl.  We love fresh produce and everything green here.  There are many restaurants in LA that specialize in raw, vegan and vegetarian organic food.  I frequent those restaurants whenever I can, and it is always an (expensive) dream meal. 

One of my favorite dishes is a macrobiotic bowl which features grains, fermented food, and sea vegetables.

What is macrobiotic, and why do I want to eat that way?  Generally speaking a macrobiotic diet involves eating primarily a plant based diet and combination of nutrients to obtain a yin-yang energy balance in the body.  I love these bowls, and definitely feel better after I eat one.  This bowl adds to the deliciousness of a macrobiotic bowl by grilling the ingredients and then topping with Garlic Cashew Creme. 

This dish is vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

Ingredients

 

• 2 tablespoon olive oil

• ½ cup adzuki beans cooked
• ½ cup baby kale or your preferred greens
• 1 tablespoon dulse flakes
• 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds
• salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Cashew Creme

• ½ cup raw cashews
• 3 cloves garlic
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

 

Bowl

• Pre cook butternut in microwave for 2 minutes
• Spread olive oil on grill.  *See notes if you are not grilling.
  
• Add butternut, rice, beans, greens, sauerkraut, (and garlic if you are grilling them) to the grill.
• Grill on medium high for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently until done. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble bowl
• Sprinkle dulse flakes and toasted pumpkin seeds

Garlic Cashew Creme

• Blend all ingredients in high speed blender

Notes

*Sometimes it is winter, and you feel the need for a Grilled Macrobiotic Bowl.  In that case, instead of adding olive oil and ingredients to the grill, you can stir fry the ingredients in a pan.  Add the olive oil, minced garlic, butternut squash, beans and rice.  Stirfry for 3-5 minutes.  Add greens and sauerkraut and stirfry for an additional 2 minutes.  Top with pumpkin seeds, dulse flakes and garlic cashew creme. 

If you want your bowl to look like the photo, with your bowl ingredients separate,  after you saute the minced garlic in the olive oil,  cook each ingredient separately and remove from pan (squash, beans, rice, greens, sauerkraut).
