Roasted-Mushroom-and-Broccoli Grain Bowls image

Full of chewy grains, caramelized broccoli and juicy mushrooms, this delicious blend of textures and flavors can feel like the best way to get your vitamins and fiber. The omelet ribbons come together almost like fettuccine on top, and the lemony, herbal buttermilk dressing lends the bowl some decadence. If you have the vegetables and grains already cooked and stashed in the fridge, this dish comes together in just a few minutes. Feel free to use any combination of roasted vegetables and grains you like - this recipe can be a template for all your leftovers.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings, plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds broccoli
Salt
Olive oil, as needed
1 pound portobello or other mushrooms, in 3/4-inch pieces
2 eggs
2 cups cooked grains (wheat berries, brown rice, farro, quinoa, couscous, wild rice, etc.), warm
Lemon-herb buttermilk dressing, to taste (see recipe)
Toasted almonds or peanuts, for garnish (or toasted bread crumbs, or potato sticks, or wasabi peas, just anything you like for crunch)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Make the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Peel the stems, and cut these into 3/4-inch pieces. In a large bowl, season the broccoli well with salt, and toss with 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Spread it out in one layer on a sheet pan. Season and oil the mushrooms the same way, and spread them out on a separate sheet pan. Roast the vegetables until the mushrooms are browned but still juicy and the broccoli has charred edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Make the omelet ribbons: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a couple pinches of salt. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. When the oil slips around the pan like water, add half the egg, and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until set, about 30 seconds. Use a spatula to roll the omelet up like a jellyroll toward the edge of the pan, then turn it out onto a cutting board. Repeat with the rest of the egg. Slice the omelets into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons.
  • In a mixing bowl, season and dress the warm grains with salt and the dressing to taste. Divide among bowls. Top the grains with some mushrooms and broccoli, drizzling on a little more dressing. Top with the omelet ribbons and your crunchy garnish, and eat. Use the leftovers to make this again.

ROASTED BROCCOLI GRAIN BOWL WITH NOOCH DRESSING



Roasted Broccoli Grain Bowl With Nooch Dressing image

This nutty, savory and deeply satisfying - not to mention vegan - grain bowl stands out because of a stellar sauce made of nutritional yeast, lemon, mustard and garlic powder that provides umami, brightness and spunk. The sauce works especially well on roasted brassicas like broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts, likely because the combination is reminiscent of broccoli-Cheddar soup. Keep a jar of the stuff on hand for grain bowls on demand. (It keeps for three days in the fridge.) Cook any cold-weather vegetables, use any leftover grains, incorporate any crunch, and maybe even add dill, apples or celery for freshness. The sauce will tie it all together.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds broccoli, cauliflower or a combination, cut into 1½- to 2-inch-long florets, stem sliced ¼-inch-thick, leaves reserved
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups cooked whole grains (such as farro, quinoa, or wheat berries), warm or room temperature
1/4 cup roasted, salted almonds, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place two baking sheets in the oven to heat.
  • In a large bowl (or two if you need), toss broccoli and cauliflower florets, stems and leaves, and the brussels sprouts with enough olive oil to coat (around ½ cup). Season generously with salt and pepper. (Don't wash the bowl.) Roast on the heated sheets, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through but leaving the vegetables themselves untouched, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the nutritional yeast, ¼ cup water, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, the lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the grains to the large bowl. Season and dress the grains with salt, lemon zest, and some of the nutritional yeast dressing to taste.
  • Top the grains with the roasted vegetables, then drizzle with some of the dressing. Top with the almonds.
