  • 6 small or 3 medium carrots, steamed
  • 1 small head broccoli florets, steamed
  • 8 kale leaves, chopped
  • 2 cups

    tablespoon

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon tahini
  • 1/2 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  • Make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, water, garlic, turmeric, and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice the radish (this is best done on a mandolin), and toss the slices with a squeeze of lemon. Set aside.
  • Cook the mung beans in boiling salted water according to package directions, or until tender. Drain.
  • In a steamer basket over a pot of simmering water, steam the carrots, covered, until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. Next steam the broccoli until tender but still bright green, 4 to 5 minutes. Lastly, steam the kale until just tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Assemble individual bowls with the brown rice, mung beans, carrots, broccoli, kale, sauerkraut, sesame seeds and microgreens, if using. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the Turmeric Tahini Sauce.
