Buddha Bowl with Okra and Purple Cabbage

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat a lightly greased grill pan over medium-high heat; once hot, grill the mushrooms and peppers for a few minutes, until charred. Season your veggies to taste and reserve.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, rinse the okra pods thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the stem ends of the okra pods using a sharp knife.
3. 3
   Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the okra to the skillet in a single layer. Allow your okra to cook undisturbed for a few minutes, allowing it to brown slightly on one side. (Make sure to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to ensure even cooking).
4. 4
   Then, stir the okra with a spatula. Continue sautéing the okra for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5
   Next, make the avocado dressing by processing the avocado, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender.
6. 6
   Assemble your Buddha Bowl with all the ingredients and serve with the avocado dressing on the side. Bon appétit!
