Easter Protein Bowls

In collaboration with The Original Farmer‘s Market in Los Angeles, I came up with an amazing, vibrant recipe that is not just perfect for Spring, but Easter and Passover. In this collaboration, I was asked to make a recipe using two proteins from two of their vendors. Lastly, I was able to choose another vendor I wanted to get my other ingredients from.

Here is the list of vendors and what I got from each.

—— Farmers Market Poultry: Jumbo Boneless Skinless Breast

—— Marconda’s Meats: Angus Grass-Fed and Grass Finished NY Steak, Porterhouse and Roast Seasoning

—— Farm Fresh Produce: Rainbow Carrots, Avocado, Lime, Red Cabbage, Arugula, Brown Rice, Parsley, Green Onions, Edible Flowers, Avocado Salsa

Let’s get started…..
