Tips & Notes
- Cook the brown rice and quinoa together in a big pot of boiling water, adding the quinoa later. Both come out fluffy and separate.
- Pat the chickpeas very dry before roasting. Dry chickpeas crisp up; wet ones steam on the pan.
- Massage the kale with a little vinaigrette. It softens the tough leaves so the harvest bowl is pleasant to eat raw.
