Berbere Sweet Potato Farro Bowls

This post is sponsored by Bob's Red Mill. See below for more information.

There’s nothing like a hearty grain bowl filled with vegetables, grains, and beans. It hits all the points and makes for such a delicious and filling dinner. This particular bowl has some of my favorites (roasted sweet potatoes! farro!) with a bit of kick from the berbere spice.

Berbere and alternatives

Berbere is a delightful spice blend that originated in Ethiopia. The main spices are x, x, and x, which results in a warm and spicy flavor. If you’re looking for something with a similar impact, but without the rice, I’d recommend trying this bowl with the ras el hanout blend.

Bob’s Red Mill Farro

Farro is one grain that tends to stay in whole-form in my cooking. The slightly warm and nutty wheat berry is perfect for salads, stews, and bakes. It keeps a slightly chewy texture but soaks up flavors of everything around it. You can also crack farro- I use this technique for whole-grain morning porridges or making a farro risotto. Cracking adds a bit of extra creaminess without any additional ingredients! Check out their store locator on where you can find the farro. 

Sweet Potato Alternatives

Berbere works well with any of the hearty vegetables. Sweet Potatoes, squash, or even regular potatoes would work well in this dish.

Make it vegan

Swap out the yogurt sauce for a cashew cream mixed with garlic and mixed herbs. Whenever I do this, I try and add a splash of the lemon juice to make up for the tang that will be missing from the yogurt.
