Spicy Buddha Bowl ★★★★★2 reviews
The whole idea of a Buddha Bowl is for it to be packed to the ****ing brim, resembling the rounded belly of Buddha – specifically: Laughing Buddha, and not Gautama Buddha (he was a skinny fellow. Don’t get them confused!) You really want to load your Spicy Buddha Bowl up with enough food to last you till and through the Zombie apocalypse and then some more.
Eat until you feel sick, eat until you feel like your belly button is going to pop off you and walk off into the ****ing sunset.

Method:

- Whilst sweet potato is cooking, prepare chickpeas.
- In a bowl, combine chickpeas, sriracha, maple syrup, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Heat a saucepan and transfer chickpea mixture into saucepan to cook for 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep the chickpeas moving so they don’t burn. Cook until chickpeas are slightly sticky and no longer watery. Keep aside.
- In a clean saucepan, wilt spinach slightly and season. Transfer to a bowl and repeat the wilting and seasoning process with the cabbage.

Love this recipe. As a shift worker, I’m always trying different recipes that have plenty of flavour & for ones that will fill me up and keep me going. This one has the lot. Sometimes only eat half, then eat the other half later on. The spice is the kicker too. :)
