If you have internet access, then you’ve probably heard all about Buddha Bowls and have seen a decent number of them pop up on every social media platform. It took me a while to grasp what one should actually dump into a bowl to make it a Buddha Bowl, but the internet is mostly unanimous in that it’s generally a mix of grains, proteins and a plethora of veggies. Another useful criteria might also be to add in whichever leftovers you have in your fridge. But that’s just my opinion. And yes, of course that this is exactly what I decided to do. 😀 So the recipe below is more like a general concept on a healthy and fun meal.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 1.95 EUR per serving / 7.78 EUR for all)

For roasted veggies:

2 beetroots (0.40 EUR)

1 red horn pepper (0.20 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

2 carrots (0.20 EUR)

8 Portobello mushrooms (0.53 EUR)

2-3 clusters of oyster mushrooms (1.00 EUR)

4 shiitake mushrooms (0.80 EUR)

4 tbsp olive oil (0.18 EUR)

Good pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

For the bowl assembly:

4 cups precooked quinoa (2.13 EUR)

1 block smoked tofu (1.00 EUR)

1 cup sauerkraut (0.40 EUR)

4 tbsp pumpkin seed oil (0.27 EUR)

4 tbsp Sriracha (0.53 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Wash, peel and roughly chop all the veggies. Clean and chop up the mushrooms. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil with a teaspoon of water. Toss the mushrooms and remaining veggies with olive oil, salt and pepper, but be sure to keep the mushrooms separated from everything else as they cook faster. Roast the beets and the other remaining veggies for about 40 minutes and the mushrooms for about 20 minutes.

Once your veggies are done, assemble the Buddha Bowls. Top quinoa with roasted beets, pepper, onion and carrots, mushrooms, tofu and sauerkraut. Drizzle everything with pumpkin seed oil and Sriracha. Take the obligatory picture of your creation for your Instagram and dig in. I like this dish both hot and cold, so it’s a great option for meal prep.

Ako imate Internet, onda ste sigurno već čuli za Buddha Bowls, a bome i vidjeli pošten broj istih kako iskaču na svim društvenim mrežama. Trebalo mi je nešto vremena da shvatim što sve treba natrpati u zdjelu kako bi ona postala Buddha Bowl, ali generalni konsenzus na Internetu je da je to miks žitarica, proteina i više vrsta povrća. Za mene bi također izvrstan i bitan kriterij bio da dodate sve ostatke koji vam se vuku po frižideru. A pogodili ste, upravo sam to i napravila. 😀 Stoga je niži recept zapravo više nekakav koncept zdravog i zabavnog obroka.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 14,56 kn po porciji / 58,23 kn za sve)

Za pečeno povrće:

2 cikle (3,00 kn)

1 crvena paprika roga (1,50 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

2 mrkve (1,50 kn)

8 šampinjona (4,00 kn)

2-3 ‘grozda’ bukovača (7,50 kn)

4 shiitake (6,00 kn)

4 žlice maslinovog ulja (1,32 kn)

Dobar prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,15 kn)

Za složiti Buddha Bowl:

4 šalice kuhane kvinoje (16,00 kn)

1 komad dimljenog tofua (7,50 kn)

1 šalica kiselog kupusa (3,00 kn)

4 žlice bućinog ulja (2,00 kn)

4 žlice Sriracha umaka (4,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Operite, ogulite i krupno narežite svo povrće i gljive. Cikle zamotajte u aluminijsku foliju sa žličicom vode. Gljive i preostalo povrće pomiješajte sa maslinovim uljem, solju i paprom, s time da gljive i povrće držite razdvojenima, pošto će se gljive brže skuhati. Ciklu i povrće pecite oko 40 minuta, a gljive 20 minuta.

Kada je sve gotovo, složite Buddha Bowls. Po kvinoji rasporedite pečenu ciklu, pečeno miješano povrće, gljive, tofu i kiseli kupus. Sve pokapajte sa bućinim uljem i Srirachom.
