The Grains and Veggies

  2. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise and then again width-wise
  3. Heat up the margarine in a pan and add the onions, leek, Brussels sprouts and carrots. Sprinkle thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the lemon juice and add about 200 ml of water. Braise the vegetables on medium/high heat for 10 – 12 minutes covered with a lid. Turn them over occasionally.
  4. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and roast them in a baking pan until they are golden brown.

Gravy

  1. Serve the Rice in wide bowl and scoop out the veggies from the pan (leaving the liquid inside)
  2. Pour the agave syrup and turmeric in the liquid and let it cook until it’s a nice gravy texture.
  3. Done! Pour the gravy on top of the filled bowls and sprinkle the hazelnuts on top

Notes

Tip: Add crème fraîche to the final dish to add a rich and flavourful creaminess to it.
