Vegetarian Grain Bowl (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 35 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Vegetarian • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This bowl is as delicious as it is beautiful! It’s a great meal to make when you’ve made a trip to the Farmer’s Market to find the best in-season vegetables. So don’t get too locked into the recipe if you have a different collection of fresh vegetables you can add roasted or raw. The combination of grains, seeds, and veggies makes this bowl hearty enough to serve as a vegetarian main course the whole table will love.

Ingredients: Dressing

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and black pepper

Ingredients: Bowl

1 cup hulled millet, cooked per package instructions

1 cup quinoa, rinsed well and cooked per package instructions

2 heirloom tomatoes or a handful of heirloom cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

2 cups greens such as arugula, baby kale, baby spinach, etc.

1 cup roasted vegetables (such as zucchini, broccoli florets, carrots, or beets)

1 watermelon radish, sliced thinly

4 red radishes, sliced thinly

4 Persian cucumbers, sliced thinly

1/2 Avocado, in slices, for serving

1/2 cup microgreens, for serving

4 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds, for serving

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and cut up all vegetables. Make the dressing by putting all ingredients in a small jar. Shake to combine.

(2) Cook the grains: Cook millet and quinoa per package instructions.

(3) Roast vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roast any vegetables you plan to include by cutting into equal size pieces, drizzling with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roasting until fork tender and starting to char. (As you plan your roasted vegetables, keep low FODMAP serving sizes in mind, beets, for example, are only two thin slices per person).

(4) Plate and serve: Put a scoop each of cooked millet and quinoa in each bowl (you can serve the grains warm or at room temperature). Add the greens. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette and stir to coat the greens and grains with the vinaigrette. Add the rest of the vegetables. Garnish with avocado, microgreens, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
