Lovely Buddha Bowls
The truth is that I love Buddha Bowls very much! In recent years I learned about their existence and started making them. I can say that it is a very convenient choice since they are straightforward to create, contain many ingredients, and have great nutritional value, while at the same time, the combinations are countless. This means that we can have different tastes and a new dish to try every day. At the same time, Buddha Bowls are the main dish since they have a high nutritional value, depending on the combinations. At the same time, they can also be considered as an appetizer, replacing our salad on the menu.
Quinoa Buddha Bowl
I would say that quinoa, in general, is misunderstood since many of us don’t love it or, rather I should say, avoid it. I was one of them in the past since I wasn’t fond of it at all. But, gradually, I started using it more and more in my recipes and adjusting it accordingly, so I began to like it. An important tip I want to give you about quinoa and its cooking is rinsing. Before doing anything, we have to put it under the tap and rinse it with running water to remove its bitter taste. Then, we can cook it in water or vegetable broth, adding our favorite vegetables. Try it, and thank me later!
