I would like to introduce you to the burrito bowl, my go to busy weeknight meal. Start with a base of cooked rice and beans: I use local Mckaskie brown rice and home cooked dried orca beans from the bulk section of the Coop, but quick cooking white rice and canned beans would speed this meal up even more. Top your rice and beans with roasted or stir-fryed veggies, add salsa and yogurt or cashew cream and maybe some tortilla chip crumbles and enjoy! A filling, quick, affordable way to eat healthy local food any night of the week.
This recipe uses produce readily available in late winter: sweet potatoes obtained from Miller Tater Farm early in the season and greens from Hollow Pumpkin Farm. A spring version could use snap pea, asparagus, and spinach. A summer version zucchini, new potatoes and bell peppers, and fall version butternut squash and collard greens. Here the veggies are cooked on the stovetop, but oven roasted root veggies like carrots, beets, and turnips would also be a welcome addition. Mix up the veggies based on what you have on hand and what is in season.
