Dinner Bowl #139
Sometimes, I get into a mood and I want nothing but vegetables; I have to sneak protein in when I'm in such a mood. So this one has lots of protein layers! Also, despite looking very beige, this has a ton of green veggies. It's weird how not-green all this is. So: On a bed of potatoes mashed with cauliflower and roasted garlic (I veganized an omnivore recipe ), I have broccoli quinoa cakes (recipe from Power Hungry ), charred cabbage in a creamy spinach sauce (recipe from This Savory Vegan ), and carrots. How did I layer the proteins? Several ways. I used quinoa and white beans in the broccoli quinoa cakes, soy milk in the sauce for the cabbage, and I made my own vegan cream for the sauce out of cashews, too. Plus, of the veggie family, potatoes, cauliflower, and broccoli are all a bit heftier in protein than some other options. It's not how I would eat all the time, but it was what I needed on this day. Also, this meant heavy use of the oven, which I've been dying to...
