Anatomy of a Yumm Bowl:
Layer ingredients in the order given…
Layer 1: 1/2 cup to 1 cup cooked brown rice, white rice, whole grain noodles or quinoa
Layer 2: 2 to 3 Tablespoons Yumm Sauce (recipe below)
Layer 3: cheese of your choice (we adore chevre)
Layer 4: veggies and salad greens of your choice (I used avocado, slaw, tomato and onion)
Layer 5: Meat and/or beans of your choice (I used grilled chicken and 5 bean salad this time)
Layer 6: Coarsely chopped nuts and/or seeds (I used unsalted peanuts and black toasted sesame seeds)
Layer 7: a drizzle of Teriyaki, ponzu, soy sauce or thai peanut sauce (or whatever sauce you prefer)
Layer 8: Hot sauce, fresh salsa or fresh pico de gallo of your choice (I used Sriracha)
Layer 9: fresh, chopped cilantro, chives, parsley and oregano
Yumm Sauce:
yummsauce
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup almond flour/almond meal
1/3 cup nutritional yeast OR 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained well
1/2 cup filtered/purified water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons sweet curry powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
dash of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a canning jar or other glass container. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to use. This will keep in your fridge for 10 days.
Enjoy!
