Nourishing Buddha Bowl

Cook buckwheat according to packet instructions (in general, 1 part buckwheat to 2 parts water). This will take about 15 minutes and the buckwheat should absorb all the liquid. Season the water with ½ teaspoon salt.

In a frying pan, melt butter. Throw in drained chickpeas and roast for about 3 minutes. Add sweet paprika and mix it around until all the chickpeas are coated evenly. Roast for 2 minutes before turning off the heat.

Once the buckwheat is ready, check it for salt and add some more, if needed. Arrange all the ingredients in a bowl and serve warm with a lemon wedge and extra virgin olive oil or simple yogurt ketchup dressing.

To make the yogurt ketchup dressing, mix together yogurt and ketchup.

Note: The total time will vary depending on whether you will be cooking the buckwheat ahead or not. When cooking the buckwheat on the day of your lunch, prepare the vegetables while the buckwheat cooks.
