Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups chopped cauliflower, roasted
  • 2 cups chopped red peppers, roasted
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli, roasted
  • 1 cup Gia basmati rice, rinsed
  • 1 cup of vegetable stock
  • ½ cup of water
  • 1 tsp oil
  • ¼ cup roasted cashews, chopped
  • 4-6 Burns wieners, chopped and oven roasted
  • Salt, generous pinch
  • Black pepper, pinch
  • Western Family garlic powder, generous pinch
  • Western Family garlic baguette, toasted
  • Sesame oil (for greasing and drizzling)

DRESSING:

  • ¼ cup Dairy Land sour cream
  • 1/3 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/8 tsp. Western Family Chili powder
  • ¼ tsp. Western Family Garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Direction:

1. To a pot, add vegetable stock, water, oil and rice and bring to a boil. Once rice reaches a rapid boil, reduce temperature and continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Set aside for later

2. Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees. To a baking tray or sheet pan that has been greased, add cauliflower, broccoli, red peppers and wieners. Drizzle sesame oil over top and season with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes or until hot dogs are browned and veggies have reached desired tenderness.

3. Cut garlic baguette into slices and place the buttered side down onto an addition baking tray. Cook according to package instructions. Flip have way through baking. Baguette is done once bread has turned a golden colour.

4. When veggies are baking, prepare the spring inspired dressing by mixing together sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, herbs and spices in a small bowl. Store dressing in the refrigerator until ready to use.

5. To assembly, place rice in each bowl then divide roasted veg, wieners and dressing amongst each bowl. Top with toasted cashews and serve with a couple slices of crisp garlic bread.

6. Enjoy!
