Grain Bowl With Spiced Vegetables and Curried Yogurt Recipe

Grain Bowl With Spiced Vegetables and Curried Yogurt Recipe

  • 1/2 cup red, white, or brown rice, quinoa, or barley
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 medium delicata squash (about 1 pound), halved lengthwise, or 1/2 acorn squash (about 1 pound), quartered, seeded, cut crosswise into 1/2″-thick slices
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, trimmed, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced 1/2″ thick
  • 1/2 cup Greek-style plain full or low-fat yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 cups baby greens, such as watercress or arugula
  • Lemon wedges and cilantro leaves (for serving; optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook grains with 1/2 tsp. salt according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk oil, pepper, cinnamon, and 3/4 tsp. salt with a fork in a large bowl. Add squash, mushrooms, and onion and toss to coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, tossing once halfway through, until vegetables are lightly browned and fork-tender, 25–30 minutes.
  3. Mix yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, and 1/8 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Divide yogurt mixture between 2 bowls, swooshing it along the side of the bowl if desired. Top with rice, then vegetables and greens. Squeeze with lemon and top with cilantro, if desired.
