Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked forbidden rice black
  • 4 radishes sliced
  • 1 large carrot peeled and grated
  • 4 small fingerling potatoes boiled, or new
  • 1 cup strawberries chopped
  • 1 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 cups sunflower greens or pea shoots or microgreens
  • ½ large avocado sliced
  • ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

Tahini Apricot Sauce:

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1.5 to 2 Tbsp apricot preserves to taste
  • pinch sea salt to taste
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water

Instructions

  • Prepare the Tahini Apricot Sauce by whisking together all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to use. If your tahini is very thick, add a small amount of additional water until it reaches your desired consistency. 
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions (add 1 cup of dry rice and 1-3/4 cups water to a saucepan. Bring to a full boil, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 35 minutes, or until water has been absorbed).
  • While the rice is cooking, slice all of the vegetables and cook the potatoes (you can steam, roast, or microwave them).
  • Divide rice between 2 or 3 bowls, followed by the remaining ingredients. Drizzle desired amount of tahini apricot sauce, followed by sea salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
