Directions
- Add a scoop of creamy base to a serving bowl. This will bring a smooth, rich texture to the dish, and it can also be used to mix ingredients together.
- Pile groups of fresh, steamed or roasted veggies opposite one another in the bowl.
- Add grains to the bowl, spooning between a few different veggies to contain an otherwise loose pile of grains.
- Add wedges of flatbread to the bowl, if desired.
- Tuck or sprinkle small bites between other ingredients in the bowl.
- Garnish bowl as desired; drizzle with oil or balsamic glaze to taste.
