Healthy Tuna Grain Bowl With Turmeric Sweet Potatoes And Spicy Yogurt Dressing Recipes

GRAIN BOWL

Steps:

• To make the green goddess dressing, add the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and basil to a food processor. Turn on and pulse and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor on occasion.
• To build the grain bowl: Fill a bowl in sections, starting with the wheat berries, sweet potato and microgreens. Add the chickpeas, orange, sugar snap peas, avocado, radish, pickled red onion and pepitas in groupings between and on top of the base ingredients. Top with one-quarter of the dressing. Reserve the remaining dressing for another use.

SPICY YOGURT AND LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, cilantro, lime zest and juice, cumin and serrano chile in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.

HERBED YOGURT MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
• Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (for smoother potatoes, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Mash the potatoes with the yogurt and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in most of the chives, dill, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the reserved herbs.

HEALTHY TUNA GRAIN BOWL WITH TURMERIC SWEET POTATOES AND SPICY YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss the sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper on the prepared baking sheet until evenly coated. Roast until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the frozen brown rice according to package directions; keep warm. Toss the sliced cabbage, carrot ribbons, the juice from 1 lime half, a pinch of salt and a couple grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well dressed and combined.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining 2 lime halves into a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt, fish sauce, chili paste, honey, the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Divide the warm rice among 4 shallow bowls (about 3/4 cup per bowl). Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage-carrot slaw, tuna (about 1/4 cup per bowl), edamame and sliced scallions. Drizzle with the spicy yogurt dressing, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with the reserved lime wedges for squeezing.
