Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 2 -3 Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Head Romanesco
  • Drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups Black Rice soaked 4 hours or overnight
  • 1/3 Cup Mung Bean Sprouts
  • 1 Tbs Sesame Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Tsp Fresh Ginger chopped
  • 4 Scallions chopped and divided
  • 2 Tbs Shoyu
  • Drizzle Sriracha optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the black rice according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • While oven is heating up, break down romanesco into smaller florets. Toss florets with a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cook romanesco florets in the oven for about 20 minutes, until slightly tender but still crunchy. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot or sauté pan to medium-low heat with the sesame oil. Add in the minced garlic, chopped ginger, and half of the chopped scallions, and sauté for about a minute. Then, add the rice, sprouts, shoyu, and the rest of the scallions (and sriracha if you like). Stir for about a minute, letting the flavors meld.
  • When done, serve in bowls with a few florets of romanesco.
