A tasty yellow spring “rice” that can be given a Mexican or Indian flair with just a switch of spices. I imagine if you switch the curry powder for saffron and add olives, it becomes “arroz”. Note:for a Mexican flavor, replace curry powder with Mexican spice mix. Lovely colors too.

Hippie Chick I'm pleased to hear that! This dish is really versatile, any combination of veggies is pretty much great, adding coconut oil is a great idea, I'm going to include it in the oils, it didn't occur to me because I ran out! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Techelet I never had tried an uncooked yam either but had some at home and decided to give it a try, it's like a drier and stiffer carrot, with a mild sweet taste. It's also great to make crunchy noodles with for carrot or other types of soup. I imagine it would also be great sliced into tortilla shapes for dipping on something like hummus. The possibilities are endless!
