Ingredients

For the Buddha Bowl:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Cooked Lentils
  • 2 tsp Butter
  • A Pinch of Salt
  • 1 tbsp Sweet Paprika
  • 2 tsp Black Sesame Seeds
  • 2 cups Lamb Lettuce , 2 handfulls
  • 1 Ripe Large Avocado

For the Spinach Dressing:

  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach
  • 6 Sun-Dried Tomatoes , soaked in water
  • 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • A pinch of Salt
  • ½-⅔ cup Water

Instructions 

  • Pour the oil in a large frying pan. Add cherry tomatoes and broccoli florets and roast them for about 3 minutes. Move them to one side to make space for lentils. Add butter, salt, paprika and stir around. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes before turning off the heat.
  • Peel and half the avocado, remove the stone and cut into slices. Fill each bowl with lettuce and avocado. Add roasted veggies and lentils and top with sesame seeds.
  • Serve with spinach and sun-dried tomato dressing (optional).
  • To make the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth-ish.

Notes

  1. Make sure you drain any liquid from the lentils before adding them to the frying pan.
  2. Black sesame seeds can be substituted with white sesame seeds, chia seed or poppy seeds.
  3. Vegan option – use olive oil instead of butter.
  4. Roasted split peas or chickpeas can also be used instead of lentils.
