Freekeh Harvest Bowl

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! Today’s theme = Kitchen Contraptions!

Happy Black Friday! :o I am chillin’ with our zoo over at Please Save A Cat today. After the 30th, I won’t get to see Linda or any of them until April! :[! I had to say goodbye to all my friends at church in Kentucky and PCMAA earlier this week too, so not gonna lie, I’m feeling a tiny bit down because it feels like I’m always saying goodbye, but I’m so glad to have met them…and there’s always a silver lining somewhere!

(Guess who gets to finally see her family and hopefully most of her closest friends again next week/month!?!?!?)

Onward to the recipe! I love a whole lot of different kitchen contraptions, but one of my favorites would likely have to be what I lovingly refer to as my first-world rice cooker (affiliate link!).

I use that sucker for everything, from its intended function of cooking rice (brown rice, mixed rice, sushi rice, etc.)…to cooking quinoa, steaming vegetables, making [birthday muffin] cakes (yes, really), and most recently, cooking freekeh!

I actually made this back when I was on one of my audition rotations (the one with the creepy basement!), when I was trying to use up as many of my leftover ingredients as I could. The avocado was kindly donated by my then-housemate. :D

Freekeh Harvest Bowl

Freekeh Harvest Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Rosemary Sage freekeh
  • 1 bag (12 oz.) frozen stir fry vegetables
  • 1 can pink salmon
  • 1 12 oz. container silken tofu
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1-2 tsp roasted garlic seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Add freekeh + water (1:2.5 ratio) into rice cooker bowl with frozen vegetables and salmon. (You can also put the veggies into the steamer basket, but I was too lazy to do even that.)
  2. Press start!
  3. After freekeh/veggies/salmon are done cooking, add in tofu, walnuts, dried cranberries, and avocado. Mix until combined.
  4. Sprinkle in roasted garlic seasoning and serve warm!

  1. I love my rice cooker too, mostly because it cooks beans so perfectly! Hahaha!
    (P.S. why do you have people linking up non recipe posts and spamming the party?)

    1. Ah, that’s something I have yet to try doing! I’ll add that to my to-do list! :P

      I’ve been kinda behind on life in cleaning stuffs up! x_x

  2. Yummy- LOVE harvest bowls! I’ll have to make this one with some quinoa or rice! :)

    1. I adore harvest bowls as well! :D Quinoa and rice would both work perfectly with this! I had it with brown rice before I found my freekeh! :P

  3. Freekeh is so amazing. I stockpiled it when it was on sale at Whole Foods, so I still have like 4 bags left :D

    1. Yay! I hope you like it! :D

  5. This looks so yummy – I want to make it! And I’m not a fan of tofu :P

    1. I promise you won’t be able to taste it at all! :]! I hope you like it!

  6. That looks amazing

    1. Thanks! :]

  7. Yes please! I so need a rice cooker! I guess I need to add that to my Christmas wish list!
    Even though I am a pretty good cook, I have always had the WORST time with rice! For years I used to ALWAYS mess it up…I don’t get it. Haha

    Anyways, I hope your days of saying goodbye are over sooner than later, and I hope you have a really great time with your family when you see them!

    1. I hope you get one! :D! I am mildly ashamed to admit that I have no idea how to cook rice without a rice cooker. ._.

      I hope so too! This whole week is going to be filled with goodbyes as well. My heart can only take so much! ;_;

  8. This looks amazing! Love my rice cooker, too – I have made some amazing cakes & quick breads in that thing!

    1. hehehe, I figured I should use it to try to make something else–I think I have one bag left! :]

  11. I love how much avocado you have in that bowl! Avocadoes make anything taste better than it is which is why I pair it a lot in my salads!

    This sounds good! I tried a bag of freekeh once, and haven’t tried it since, this is a good way to have it!

    1. I need to come up with something else to make with my last bag! :O
