Golden Rice Bowl with Spicy Cauliflower and Black Beans
We spent the last week in Maine celebrating my gorgeous sister-in-law’s wedding. There was jet skiing, cross-fit workouts, lobster rolls, family saunas, lots and lots of champagne, and some of my favorite people in the world.
I just wanted to make a bowl of nourishing goodness for dinner tonight. The rice is spiced with turmeric, giving it a golden color and a dose of antioxidants. Also loaded with spicy cauliflower that will have you eating it before you can even compose the bowl, and fresh peppers from my garden (does any one else have more than they know what to do with?), this bowl is easy to make and just downright good. Feel free to sub in different veggies of course.
Have fun!

Loved the golden rice bowl recipe…I used an heirloom Portuguese plum tomato 🍅 and scallions. How about a few raisins cooked in with the rice?

I made this bowl for our Sunday night meal. I actually roasted the cauliflower on Saturday and heated it up in the microwave before serving. Pure yum.
Keep the recipes coming especially the delicious fall dishes.
