I’ve been inspired lately by Instagram pics and blog posts of these fantastic looking bowls of goodness that contain anything from raw kale to sushi rice to medium rare beef and they always look so delicious so I decided to try my hand on one but concentrate on creating this vegetable and orzo bowl with fish but that can also be adapted to our vegan and vegetarian friends out there.
I have named this post vegetable and orzo bowl because to be quite honest you can use any combination of vegetables you have on hand. Here are a few of my favourites:
- Jarred artichokes
- Roasted red pepper
- Steamed broccoli
- Fried crispy kale
- Chickpeas
- Cucumber
- Kalamata olives
- Feta cheese
- White seet onion
Starting to sound yummy? You see, this blog post is really about finding what works for you, What you enjoy and pairing it with an amazing all purpose dressing. Speaking of amazing dressing have a look at the the one I make all the time for salads and vegetables over on this post. I can guarantee you that you will never go back to a boring old vinegar and oil dressing again…trust me.
Meat anyone?
Of course you can add meat or fish. I decided on a simple black pepper crusted tuna fillet seared on both sides and let cool before cutting into cubes. If you are vegan or vegetarian feel free to add some firm fried tofu, scrumptious.
To finish off I cooked off some orzo in some salted water and once al dente I simply coated it in olive oil and let it cool slightly.
You really can’t go wrong with this simple yet insanely delicious dish. Experiment and let me know what combinations you enjoy.
