Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 2 sweet potatoes (diced)
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 cup chickpeas (canned or precooked)
  • Avocado (optional, for garnish)

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 2 T maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tsp ginger (peeled and sliced)
  • pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Sweet Potato: Preheat oven to 400°F.  Peel and dice sweet potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake 30 minutes or until tender.
  2. Kale: Rinse, dry, de-stem, and chop kale.  Saute until wilted over medium high heat in a large pan drizzled with olive oil.  Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Peanut Sauce: To make the peanut sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until well combined.  Add water to thin as necessary - I usually add between 1/4 and 1/3 cup of water.
  4. Assembly: Stir together rice, kale, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and garnish with avocado.  Drizzle with peanut sauce.  Enjoy!
