Cook Outside the Box

As seen in the picture above, I served this delicious warm dahl over steamed kale, roasted sweet potato wedges and roasted cauliflower.
Clean and de-stem the kale, I like to steam about 1 1/2 cups of fresh kale per serving. Steam the kale for about 3-4 minutes or until tender, and then toss the nutrient dense steamed kale with a little organic coconut oil, sea salt and garlic powder.
I roasted the cauliflower florets and sweet potato wedges with a little coconut oil and Indian red curry powder.
Follow these directions on how to roast vegetables, Roasted Vegetables.
Put all of these delicious and powerful foods together and you have the above picture and a happy belly.

P.S The dahl freezes like a dream, so double up yo!

Bon Appétit!
