This past easter, we were discussing what to have as an easter meal. Of course, any traditional dish involving meat was off the table and we couldn’t think of a particular dish that seemed fitting for easter. So we ended up just cooking what we felt like eating and it turned out delicious!

This four-part bliss bowl combines the sweetness of sweet potato with spicy roasted chickpeas and a creamy spinach sauce. It sounds elaborate, but it’s a lot easier to make than it looks! It is completely gluten-free and contains an abundance of nutrients.

Zutaten:

• 0.5 Tasse rotes Quinoa
• 1 mittlere Süßkartoffel
• 1 kleine Zwiebel
• 300 g Spinat
• 2 EL Cashewmus
• 1 Dose Kichererbsen
• 2 TL Chilipulver
• 1 TL Paprika
• 1 TL Curry
• Olivenöl
• Salz & Pfeffer

Zubereitung:

1. Süßkartoffen schälen & in dünne Scheiben schneiden. Mit Olivenöl benetzen (ich gebe die Scheiben mit etwas Olivenöl in eine Dose, verschließe diese und schüttle sie bis die Scheiben gleichmäßig benetzt sind), auf einem Backblech auslegen und im Ofen bei 180°C für etwa 45 Minuten backen.
2. Quinoa nach Packungsanweisung kochen.
3. Zwiebel schälen & hacken. Cashewmus mit 250 ml Wasser vermischen und mit Salz & Pfeffer abschmecken.
4. Kichererbsen waschen und in einer Schüssel Chili, Paprika & Currypulver dazu geben. Gut vermischen, bis die Kichererbsen gleichmäßig bedeckt sind.
5. Spinat waschen und dicke Stängel entfernen.
6. In einer großen Pfanne Zwiebel in etwas Olivenöl andünsten. Dann den Spinat dazu geben und auf kleiner – mittlerer Stufe erhitzen, bis er zusammenfällt. Cashewsoße dazu geben und mit Salz & Pfeffer abschmecken. Etwa 4 Minuten auf kleiner Stufe köcheln lassen.
7. In einer kleineren Pfanne die Kichererbsen auf mittlerer – hoher Stufe unter häufigem Rühren für ein paar Minuten anbraten.
8. Alles zusammen auf einem Teller/ in einer Schale servieren.
