Dimes restaurant (and Dimes Deli) in New York City is all about serving fresh, whole food dishes without being preachy about it. Today we have a bowl recipe from Dimes co-founder Alissa Wagner. Along with Sabrina DeSousa, the stylish pair have created a little haven on the Lower East Side. The space (and the food served there) makes you feel happy and nourished — much like the below recipe likely will!
Eating this super-balanced bowl is a great way to kick off a healthy new year. Packed with vitamins A- and C- and potassium- and protein-packed hummus and the medicinal properties of turmeric, it’s basically a one-stop shop for your bod.
Black Lentil Bowl With Turmeric-Ginger Hummus
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup black lentils
- 4 cups salted water
- 1 cups sweet potato, cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 bunch broccolini, stems intact, ends trimmed ¼ inch
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup thinly sliced fennel
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup hummus
- 4 tablespoons chopped pistachio
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Cook the lentils: Bring lentils and water to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes until tender, adding water as needed to make sure the lentils are covered.
3. Toss the sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast until just soft and golden brown.
4. Toss the broccolini in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast until tender.
5. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Add turmeric and ginger, and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add hummus, and stir until turmeric-ginger oil is completely incorporated.
6. To serve, divide lentils, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and fennel between four bowls. Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve with hummus on the side.
