Introduction
What is a NuMi Bowl? There are 4 categories in each dish in this collection. Grains - carbohydrates giving you energy. Greens - veggies bringing fibre. Protein - to keep you feeling full. Toppings - healthy fats and vibrant flavour.
Method
Step 1. Remove seeds from cucumber and grate into a sieve to let drain. Finely chop garlic and add to yoghurt - this mellows the flavour of the garlic.
Step 2. Boil 300ml of water, add vegetable stock cube and then quinoa. Cook for 10 minutes.
Step 3. Prepare your vegetables. Grate carrot and beetroot. Shred leaves. Quarter the radishes.
Step 4. Finely chop the herbs and roughly chop the sun dried tomatoes and black olives. Add to the quinoa along with some lemon juice and olive oil (if using).
Step 5. Add drained cucumber to yoghurt and garlic. Add lemon juice and chopped mint and mix well.
Step 6. Heat falafel balls in oven or microwave and assemble all the components to complete your NuMi Bowl. Enjoy!
Chef Gino’s Top Tip: You can use any veg here to fill your bowl up with fibre so get creative.
