Creamy Summer Bean Bowl
Veggies from the famers market simply taste better. I love buying produce in season, it's more flavorful, buying locally is better for the planet, and you are supporting local farmers. (Can you hear the passion ;)) So with all that to say, this summer bean bowl is overloading with vegetable in season. Feel free to sub out any for a different green, like green beans would be so great! Or roasted asparagus, Brussel sprouts.... That's what I love about a bowl, it has no rules, nor does it really have a name. So summer bean bowl it is. Enjoy!

Creamy Summer Bean Bowl
Serving: 4
Time: 30 min
Ingredients:
2 yellow squash or zucchini, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 gloves garlic, minced
1 large head broccoli (florets + chopped stem)
1 bunch cavolo nero (a.k.a. Tuscan kale), roughly chopped
Optional: olives for topping, juice of ½ lemon
Creamy ''Cheese'' Sauce:
1 block silken tofu (I love House of Tofu)
2 tbsp miso paste
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon (or veggie stock of choice)
⅓ cup Fairlife 2% milk (sub for non dairy)
Salt + pepper to taste
Instruction:
1. Slice up your squash or zucchini, toss them in a little oil, salt and pepper. Then pop them into your air fryer (or oven) at 400°F for 15 minutes. Give them a shake every 5 minutes. You want them lightly crisped with some caramelized edges.
2. In a wide braiser (I’m using the Le Creuset 3.5 qt braiser), heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
Now toss in that whole head of broccoli. Stir occasionally for 5 minutes, adding a splash of water if things start sticking. Roughly chop the kale and stir it in. Let it wilt and soften for another 5 minutes.
3. Turn heat to low and add the rinsed cannellini beans to the pan for 2-3 minutes.
4. While your greens are doing their thing, whip up the sauce. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, miso, nutritional yeast, bouillon, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until silky smooth, do a little taste test... Isn't that good?!
5. Pour the sauce into your braiser and stir to coat all those beautiful greens. Stir until thickened, then add 1/2 juiced lemon.
6. Top it all with your crispy air fried squash, and a few olives if you're feeling fancy.
