PURPLE POTATO BUDDHA BOWL
INGREDIENTS
- Several Cups of Fresh Arugula
- 1 Cup Wild Rice Blend
For the Mashed Garlic Potatoes:
- 6 Small to Medium Purple Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Water for Boiling
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 4 Cloves of Garlic
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Plain Almond Milk
For the Roasted Chickpeas:
- 1 Can Organic Low Sodium (or no salt) Chick Peas – or 2 Cups Cooked -Drained & Rinsed
- Salt & Pepper
- Grape Seed Oil or other High Heat Oil
- Old Bay Seasoning (about 1 Tsp)
Additional Toppings : Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Pepitas, Sesame Seeds, Salt & Pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start your Wild Rice. I used my rice cooker, but if not, follow the directions on the package. It will be roughly 1 cup of rice to 1 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, then cover and cook until all the water is absorbed. Wait until the rice is almost done to begin the rest of the bowl.
- Heat the oven to 420°. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then spread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with your high heat oil (I used Grape Seed), salt, pepper, and Old Bay. At this time, peel the garlic cloves (for the potatoes), and place them on the pan as well. They will roast before we add them to the potatoes.
- Put the chickpeas and garlic into the oven. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the chickpeas begin to harden up and crisp and split open. The garlic will be finished after about 15-20 minutes. Once the garlic is finished, take it out and let cool while the chickpeas continue roasting. Once cool, chop the roasted garlic.
- After you get your chickpeas into the oven, peel and chop your potatoes into chunks. Fill a large pot with cold water, and pour in your chopped potatoes. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer potatoes until they easily slide off a fork when pierced (roughly 10-15 minutes depending on how small your chunks are).
- When potatoes are done, drain and rinse. Then, return to the pot and add your garlic, almond milk, and olive oil. Begin to mash with a potato masher, electric blender, immersion blender, or fork. Continue adding oil & milk while mashing until you reach your desired consistency (more oil & milk = a smoother consistency). Then, add your thyme, salt, and pepper.
To Assemble
Place about 1 handful of arugula in your bowl, followed by a 1/2 cup of the cooked wild rice. Fill the remaining space on your bowl with about 3/4 of a cup of mashed potato (or however much you want of each.) Top with roasted chickpeas, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and pepitas. Finally, drizzle more olive oil on top, and fresh squeeze lemon juice!
