In these surreal times, there is much we can (and will!) say + share about our thoughts on how this pandemic has shone a bright light on the inequities of our food system. But, for today, in this post, we just want to throw a little sparkle at your home kitchen, and invite you to bring colors into your food by cooking with a rainbow mix of microgreens! See our post on how to grow your own microgreens at home, and grow yourself a rainbow by choosing a few varieties with similar grow rates and mixing them together in a flat! For your inspiration, our rainbow mix is kale + amaranth + purple mizuna. This mix boasts a huge dose of a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as complete plant protein and high fiber content. Below, we are sharing a colorful, wholesome, and delicious recipe for all you home cooks in quarantine! May it brighten your day, fill your belly, and bring you together!
We would LOVE to see what you create! Post a photo of your delicious creation on Instagram and tag us @crumpfamilyfarms! Happy cooking!
| Rainbow Couscous Cook tricolor couscous per the directions, add spices of your choice, and just a dash of chunky tomato sauce. We use garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Separately, saute your choice of a rainbow veggie medley. Here is what we use, sauteed with olive oil and a dash of white wine, plus salt and pepper: Asparagus Tomatoes (cherry or diced) Fresh minced garlic Fresh chopped onions Broccoli florets and chopped broccoli stems Cubed eggplant (cube, salt, let sit for ~10 min, and dab the moisture before adding to the sautee) Put it all together: Just as the couscous is fluffing up and finishing cooking, add your sauteed veggies and stir it all together. You can also add your choice of protein such as sauteed chicken or marinated tofu. Top with fresh rainbow microgreens for a vitamin boost and some added spicy flare, and enjoy! |
