Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small (17g, 0.6oz) celery stalk, chopped
- 1 Portobello mushroom (about 84g, 3oz), chopped or sliced
- About ¼ (75g, 2.6oz) of bigger fennel bulb, chopped or sliced
- 150g (5.3oz) green beans (fresh or frozen)
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- ¼ tsp. garam masala (optional)
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup chopped kale
- ½ cup (loosely packed) finely shredded red cabbage
- Himalayan or black salt and black pepper to taste
ADD LATER
- 80g (2.8oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 35g (1.2oz) avocado slices
- Alfalfa sprouts (as much as you like)
Instructions
- First, place chopped or sliced mushroom, celery, fennel, green beans, turmeric, garlic powder and garam masala into a saucepan with a few tablespoons of water. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stir occasionally. You’ll have more liquid as the water seeps out of the mushrooms.
- Next, throw in broccoli and sauté for 2 minutes. Make sure there’s enough liquid or it can burn! Then comes kale’s turn, which needs another 3-4 minutes. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary.
- Finally, add shredded cabbage, turn off the heat and cover for additional 2-3 minutes to soften it a bit. Then, season the dish with black pepper and Himalayan or black salt.
- Combine your bowl: pour the sautéed veggies into a salad bowl and add chickpeas, oven-baked and sliced Portobello mushroom, avocado slices and alfalfa sprouts.
