~~Black-eyed Bowl~~



The picture doesn't do this meal justice but I swear it's so good!! When we open our vegan cafe in 2050 we'll call this the 'black eyed bowl'. I end up mixing all three together. Super high in protein and calcium! I can't get enough of the kale salad. Everyone loved it!

Kale salad
Rinse kale and spin to dry. Then tear into bite size pieces.

Ingredients
1 head dinosaur kale
*garlic powder - about 1 tsp
*coriander - about 1 tsp.
*cumin - about 1 tsp.
*nutritional yeast - about 3 tbsp
*hemp seeds - about 3-5 tbsp.
olive oil - about 3-5 tbsp.
apple cider vinegar - about 1 1/2 tbsp.
sea salt to taste

***All the spices I never really measure - just add to taste. Add olive oil last.

Black-eyed peas
Place about 1 1/2 C. in pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. [[[Add whatever spices you want - (I add garlic powder, cayenne, onion powder, kombu sea veggie, and sea salt at the end).]]] Now simmer to med/low for about 25-30 min.

Quinoa
Rinse thoroughly in strainer. Cook according to pkg instructions. Equal parts water to quinoa. Cook like rice, except for time-- 10-15 min is usually all mine takes. Add sea salt and 'Earth Balance' butter when done.
