Black Rice Buddha Bowl
Ingredients:
1 cup black rice
1 zucchini
1 small shallot
1 tsp avocado oil
For the topping:
1 1/2 avocados
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
2 Tbsp lemon juice (divided between bowls)
1 Tbsp pumpkin seed oil (divided between bowls)
3 Tbsp chopped macadamia nuts
Directions:
Cook rice to package directions. I love forbidden black rice by Lotus Foods!
Heat avocado oil on medium heat in a medium sized pan. Add zucchini and shallot, salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
Slice avocado, cucumber, and cabbage and set aside.
When the rice is finished, assemble bowls with rice and top with the veggies. Squeeze on some lemon juice and sprinkle with some chopped macadamia nuts. Drizzle on some pumpkin seed oil and enjoy!
Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, has a beautiful deep purple color. It is rich in antioxidants, fiber, and contains more protein than any other rice.
Pumpkin seed oil is a rich, luxurious oil to use as a finisher on dishes. It has a delicious pumpkin seed flavor and rich green color. It also contains a lot of antioxidants in addition to healthy omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
