DELICIOUS BONE BROTH
Organic Yard
`Magic Elixir’, `Hot Skelton Water’ or `Liquid Gold’ are all ways of describing a nourishing and delicious bone broth. It’s not only tasty it’s extremely good for you, it’s high in protein, calcium, vitamins, nutrients, healthy fats, amino acids and it’s good for your skin, your joints, and your gut health. When we make our bone broth the goal is to extract, the minerals and nutrients and collagen and the amino acids from the bones, add herbs, aromatics, vegetables, sea salt, boil, and then simmer for up to 48 hours. This is the short version, if you join our newsletter this month you can download our full guide for free.

HALLOUMI BUDDHA BOWL
Organic Yard
A Buddha bowl sometimes called a nourish bowl is essentially a simple, one-bowl meal, typically vegetarian or vegan that includes rice, legumes, fresh vegetables, and plant proteins. Often they are served cold, but we enjoy a warm version with lovely roasted veg and delicious quinoa. Full of variety and colour you’ll not be disappointed and perfectly balanced nutritionally. The Buddha bowl isn’t quite complete without ripe avocado, which we’ll dress up with toasted seeds, nuts, and flaky sea salt crushed black pepper. We will leave the dressing to your choice but a squeeze of lemon is just gives it that zing we love!
Time
1hr 10m
Servings
2
INGREDIENTS
4 slices of Halloumi
1 organic sweet potato sliced
1/2 sliced organic courgette
1 sliced organic avocado
1 cup of cooked organic quinoa
A spoonful of organic pickled red onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp organic cumin
1 tsp of organic coriander
A good pinch of organic sea salt
A good pinch of organic pepper
1 sprinkle of organic mixed seeds
Small handful of organic almonds
Squeeze of lemon
DIRECTIONS
​
1. Preheat the oven to 180C, gas 4.
2. Wash and prep all the ingredients.
3. Toss the sweet potato slices and courgettes in the olive oil and spices and lay them out on a baking tray.
4. Sprinkle on 1tsp salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
5. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, tossing twice.
6. Add the courgettes, and check the oil is sufficient and toss together, then cook until the sweet potato is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
​
7.Remove from the oven to cool and heat the quinoa.
8. Fry the halloumi a couple of minutes on each side is all it needs! You still want it to be soft, not totally crispy. Eat the halloumi within 5 minutes or so of cooking it – if you leave it to cool, it will become a little more rubbery.
9. Start to build your bowl starting with the quinoa then potatoes and work your way around the bowl.
10. Add a squeeze of lemon, herbs from your garden, and a dressing of your choice.
