Turmeric sweet potatoes, poached eggs, and lemon dressing healing bowls

Is this not the ultimate power food combo?

Off the back of a mini fasting, this filled my body (and tastebuds) with delight!  Major props to this bowl, it killed it! Turmeric, sweet potatoes, side of greens, brown and wild rice with red quinoa, soft poached eggs, laced in a subtle garlicky lemon herb dressing and topped with pistachios. Oh yeh!! AND did i mention EASY? So. Much. Love. 


Looking for ultra healthy, tasty and simple! You've got it in this one!

Serves 4


What You Need:
turmeric mashed sweet potatoes:

• 2 large sweet potatoes (kumara), cut into chunks
• a swish of olive oil
• 1-2 teaspoons turmeric
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth or quality vegetable stock

lemon herb dressing:

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 small clove garlic
• 2 teaspoons agave or pure maple syrup  
• 1/4 cup parsley leaves
• 1/4 tsp salt (more to taste)

healing bowls:

• poached or scrambled eggs
• brown rice or quinoa
• rocket, spinach or any favoured greens
• pistachios or other nuts for topping

What to do:

1. TURMERIC MASHED SWEET POTATOES: Heat the sweet potatoes with olive oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium high heat. Add the turmeric and toss to coat. Add the garlic and vegetable broth. Simmer until the potatoes are soft and the liquid is almost all absorbed. Transfer to a small bowl and mash. Season with salt and pepper and/or a touch of cream if you want to be lush about it.
2. DRESSING: Pulse all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Season to taste.
3. BOWLS: Toss the greens with a little dressing. You can also stir a little dressing into the sweet potatoes – that’s yummy. Serve each bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes, brown rice, greens, and a scrambled or poached or fried egg. Top with more dressing and a handful of pistachios.
