I realize I’m in the minority because I
happen to like the taste of sauerkraut.
Have I lost you yet?
As I scanned the fridge looking for
something to whip together for lunch today, I found leftover quinoa, leftover cauliflower rice, and a jar of
sauerkraut. I heated up the quinoa and cauliflower and topped the concoction
with a hefty dose of hummus and sauerkraut. And for the cherries on top, a
couple of black olives.
Anticipating the worst, I almost
cringed as the fork approached my lips (strangely feeling like it was in slow
motion)… and it was GOOOOOOD!
So good, I had to take a picture and
tell you about it ASAP.
Perhaps I was excited that such a
healthy lunch took a total of 3 minutes to prepare.
Or maybe I’m so tired that I’m not
thinking straight.
It doesn’t matter. Here’s the recipe:
Quinoa & Cauliflower Rice Bowl
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup cauliflower rice
2 tbsp. hummus
2 fork fulls sauerkraut
2 olives
Add ons: I haven’t tried these yet, but
I bet this tastes great with avocado, walnuts or any savoury topping.
Mix the cooked quinoa with the
cauliflower rice. Top with hummus, sauerkraut, olives and any other preferred
topping. Enjoy!

In my opinion, quinoa and hummus go
together like pb and jelly, so I knew that part would be a hit. I've tried
various cauliflower rice recipes, and the one I happened to make last night had
cumin, which worked perfectly with the other ingredients. And I'm always
looking for ways to sneak fermented foods, like sauerkraut, into my diet. The
meal is super high in fiber and plant-based protein, and my healthy gut
microbiota is breeding away in celebratory bliss. By the way, a fiber-rich meal
is an easy way to suppress and control appetite, and it helps to manage blood
sugar levels.
All good.
