Creamy Avocado Nourish Bowl. Picture via 5+aDay

1 avocado, sliced

3 orange kūmara, cut into bite-sized pieces

¼ red cabbage, finely sliced

1 cup shelled edamame beans

¾ cup brown rice quinoa mix (or any grain)

½ cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon olive oil

Black pepper

Creamy avocado dressing

1 avocado

Juice of one lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons water

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake.

Place the kūmara in a baking tray, drizzle over one tablespoon of olive oil, and season with black pepper. Toss well.

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Cook the rice and quinoa mix or whatever grain you're using as per the packet instructions.

While the kūmara and rice are cooking prepare all the other elements.

Cook the edamame beans as per the packet instructions. Once cooked rinse under cold water and set aside.

To make the creamy avocado dressing simply add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until super smooth and creamy. You might need to add a little more water depending on the consistency of the tahini you use.

To assemble nourish bowls add a little brown rice and quinoa mix to each bowl, then add the roasted kūmara, the finely sliced cabbage and edamame beans (we like to do this in little sections).

Top with sliced avocado and sprinkle over the coriander and sunflower seeds. Finally dollop over a generous amount of the creamy avocado dressing.

this recipe works well with any roasted root vegetables. Feel free to swap out the brown rice and quinoa mix for any grain you like. You can also mix up the herbs and seeds for whatever you have on hand.
