Notes

Ingredient Notes:

  • Tip: Don’t go overboard with salt as the dried tomatoes are usually salty enough.
  • For an Asian touch sprinkle with some sesame oil and sesame seeds at the end of cooking.
  • For best results, I don’t soak sun-dried tomatoes longer than 30 minutes in water

Ingredient Swaps:

  • Edamame: you could also use 100 grams of frozen split peas which you add together with the cooked grains
  • Brown rice or bulgur: you could use cooked quinoa, millet, buckwheat or any other whole grain of your preference
  • Sun-dried tomatoes: If you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil make sure to drain oil if you are watching your weight
  • Dried herbs: Use fresh herbs like basil and/or oregano if at hand
