1. BUDDHA BOWLS: A BALANCED JOURNEY
The Buddha bowl, named for its resemblance to the alms bowl carried by the Buddha, is a celebration of wholesome ingredients. A typical Buddha bowl features a base of grains (brown rice, quinoa, or even farro) topped with a variety of roasted or steamed vegetables, protein like tofu, tempeh, or grilled chicken, and a protein source like lentils or chickpeas. Don’t forget the all-important sauce! A drizzle of tahini, peanut, or a vibrant yogurt dressing brings everything together.
Saffron Twist: Infuse your Buddha bowl with a touch of saffron! A few threads steeped in warm water can be added to your dressing for a subtle floral and earthy aroma that elevates the entire dish.
2. POKE BOWLS: A HAWAIIAN PARADISE IN A BOWL
Poke bowls transport you to the sunny shores of Hawaii with their base of sushi rice and the star ingredient: cubed raw fish, typically tuna or salmon. The fish is marinated in a savory sauce, often with soy sauce, sesame oil, and aromatics, and then piled high with an array of toppings like seaweed salad, pickled ginger, edamame, and avocado.
Saffron Twist: For a truly unique poke bowl, add a touch of saffron to your marinade. Saffron’s subtle seafood-friendly flavour complements the fish perfectly, creating a truly unforgettable dish.
3. BREAKFAST BOWLS: A POWERHOUSE START TO YOUR DAY
Breakfast bowls are a fun and energizing way to kickstart your morning. They typically feature a base of yogurt, granola, or oats, layered with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and sometimes even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Saffron Twist: Elevate your breakfast bowl with a sprinkle of saffron! Not only will it add a beautiful golden hue, but its subtle honey-like flavour pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the fruit and granola.
