Peasful Buddha Bowl

May 23, 2023

By Esther Boateng

Enjoy a quiet night in with a comforting bowl of fluffy rice and red peas and a side of veggies. There’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to your choice of ingredients. Keep your bowl super simple with just two ingredients, rice and peas, plus seasoning, or if you want a balanced meal, add vegetables and protein.

For optimal flavor, I like to add dried oregano leaves and pumpkin seed oil to a handful of artichoke hearts, Castelvetrano olives, and crushed feta cheese. For an Asian flavor, add sesame seed oil instead of pumpkin seed. If I feel extra hungry, I might also add sautéed mushrooms and kimchi; both are super easy to prepare and taste delicious when you want a quick fix.
