Recipe details - RV
This recipe came about after realizing that my refrigerator was beginning to look a bit . . . purple. Gradients of amethyst vegetables really pop when composed, so I couldn’t help but combine them all in one recipe. The sweetness of the beets plays gorgeously off the bitter radicchio, mustardy radishes, and aromatic roasted hazelnuts. This is what I imagine a “classic” bowl to be when using The Whole Bowls Formula—it has all of those stock formulaic elements, using what you have on hand. Make it a green bowl, orange bowl, red bowl, or any other color you desire with your favorite assortment of similarly hued produce.
