Get ready for an adventure. This recipe isn’t for those who are in a rush, so move on if you need dinner on the table in 30 minutes. For the RADNUT bowl you’ll need a few hours to experiment and enjoy each step with patience. I’d like to call this bowl a vegetarian’s dream, but that would be a bit cocky, wouldn’t it.
