How long does Black Bean Power Bowl keep in the fridge?

Black Bean Power Bowl keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Black Bean Power Bowl ahead of time?

Yes. Black Bean Power Bowl is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most mediterranean vegan dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Black Bean Power Bowl?

Classic pairings include standalone. For a complete mediterranean thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
