How to make a buddha bowl

But the truth is we like cooking almost everything, and with savory recipes we have more fun because we don’t have to worry about measuring the ingredients. When making desserts you have to measure every ingredient you use, because if you use more or less of some ingredients, or use something else instead, the result may be completely different.

But when it comes to savory recipes, you have more freedom, which doesn’t make it any easier, but you can be more creative, which is both flexible and fun.

And when it comes to a dish like this, even more. The idea behind a buddha bowl is to have many different toppings in small portions, it can be vegetables, protein, seeds, etc. Everything small. So you end up with a really photogenic bowl, which is actually one of the recipe’s perks, I mean, Who are we kidding? That’s the beauty of a buddha bowl, picking the ingredients you like, using a leafy green base, and place all the other ingredients on top, with total creative freedom.

Here we make it with turkey and vegetables that we love and that also look gorgeous together. You can choose the ingredients you like and the bowl will be just as good, you could easily make it vegetarian or even vegan. We will for sure continue to make more of these bowls, because they are so versitile. We give you here this recipe, which you will love!

And as we always say, with this dish, as with everything in the kitchen, you have to have fun while making it!

Now,this recipe is to make one buddha bowl, but you could easily double or triple the recipe to make food for more days or for more people.
