The Abstract Expressionist Meal

For this colorful and artistic dish, we will be using a mix of unconventional ingredients that come together to create a harmonious and visually stunning plate. Let’s dive into the recipe and unleash our inner artist in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• purple sweet potatoes (300g)
• black quinoa (150g)
• yellow bell pepper (1)
• rainbow chard (200g)
• pomegranate seeds (50g)
• edible flowers for garnish

Kitchen Tools

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• medium pot
• strainer
• steamer basket
• serving plates

To start, peel and dice the purple sweet potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a medium pot until tender. In another pot, cook the black quinoa according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, thinly slice the yellow bell pepper and sauté it until slightly caramelized.

Next, prepare the rainbow chard by removing the stems and chopping the leaves. Steam the chard until wilted and vibrant in color. Once all the components are ready, assemble your dish by layering the purple sweet potatoes, black quinoa, sautéed bell pepper, and steamed rainbow chard on each serving plate.

Finish off the dish by sprinkling pomegranate seeds on top for a burst of freshness and adding edible flowers for a touch of elegance and flair. The vibrant colors and unique textures of this dish will truly evoke the spirit of Abstract Expressionism on your plate.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with four servings at 200g each. Each serving is estimated to be around 350 calories, making it a nutritious and visually appealing meal.

One clever tip for this dish is to make a colorful dressing using beet juice, lemon zest, and olive oil to drizzle over the vegetables for an added burst of flavor and more artistic presentation.

I encourage you to give this Abstract Expressionist meal a try and let your creativity shine through in the kitchen. Feel free to customize the ingredients and presentation to suit your taste and imagination. Happy cooking!
