Paleo Plant Bowls with Turmeric Cauliflower Rice and Dried Mango-Habanero Sauce
Plant Power
These savory paleo bowls are vegan, grain-free, and packed with flavor. They are a delicious and nutritious way to replenish your body after indulging during the holidays. Cauliflower, mushrooms, and organic ingredients like dried mango, pumpkin seeds, and turmeric work together to create a colorful dish that is satisfying yet light and contains good sources of fiber and vitamins.
Grain-Free Goodness
Paleo-friendly riced cauliflower spiced with Wildly Organic Ground Turmeric forms the base of these bowls. Turmeric is a root native to Indonesia and Southern India, and is related to the ginger root. It has a warm flavor with notes of pepper and mustard, and imparts a beautiful yellow hue to the cauliflower rice. The turmeric and cauliflower combine with chopped onion, Wildly Organic Onion Granules, and Wildly Organic Pumpkin Seeds for a wonderful crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Toasting the pumpkin seeds before adding them brings out their sweetness and adds another layer of flavor to the dish. Pumpkin seeds are good sources of iron and protein as well
A Touch of the Tropics
Inspired by mango-habanero salsa, this sauce made with Wildly Organic Dried Mango Slices is a silky, fiery finishing touch to these healthy bowls. The dried mango slices are reconstituted with boiling water to soften them, and then pureed with habanero pepper, lime juice, and white onion for a flavorful, fruity sauce that would go equally well with chicken or fish. Since this sauce is made with shelf-stable dried mango it can add a fun, tropical warmth any time of year. If desired, the seeds can be removed from the habanero pepper to decrease the level of spice. Make sure to be very careful and avoid touching the face area when handling the pepper to avoid any painful contact with capsaicin.
