Although the #MarchNapness competition is officially over, our celebrations have only just begun! Vegan @ChefPriyankaNaik is helping us honor the Sleepiest Winner #BearDushi from BEAR SANCTUARY Muritz with a V.I.P. treat that’s delicious for humans and bears alike.
Join Chef Priyanka in the kitchen to learn how to whip up your very own BEARY yummy dish! The ingredients chosen for this BEARY Tartare are all based on our rescued bears' favorite ingredients. While Dushi will have the opportunity to taste test the dish for herself (perhaps with a side of carrots, her favorite veggie), we ask that you DO NOT feed your local wildlife.
And just in time for #MothersDay, we thought what better way to celebrate both bears AND #MamaBears than with a delicious brunch recipe! Give a special mother figure in your life the gift of good food and rest this weekend. Let her sleep-in while you prepare this fruit-tastic, plant-forward dish that’s healthy for people and the planet.
If you want to make the HUMAN version of the dish, simply follow the recipe below and let us know what you think!
BEAR-y Tartare Recipe -
INGREDIENTS:
1 heaping cup diced watermelon
1 heaping cup diced cantaloupe
6 oz blackberries sliced in half
2 red beets cooked, peeled and diced
1 tangerine
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
3-4 tbsp honey of choice
2 tbsp unsalted walnuts chopped
1 tbsp raisins chopped
Salad greens of choice for serving
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small bowl, slice the tangerine and squeeze all of the juice from 1 whole tangerine into the bowl. Add in the fresh lemon zest and honey. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add in the watermelon, cantaloupe, beets and blackberries. Pour in the dressing and lightly toss until coated.
3. Place salad greens on your serving dish. Place on a large circle cookie mold. Begin gently layering in your fruits - I like to start with the watermelon as the bottom layer, cantaloupe as the middle layer, red beets as the third layer. Make sure it's packed tight into the mold and then carefully lift up the mold. Then layer on the blackberries. Drizzle on a spoonful of dressing from the bowl. Garnish with walnuts and raisins. Serve right away and enjoy!
BONUS! Try the below alongside this tasty recipe for an extra flavor boost.
Turmeric Whip: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip aquafaba (chickpea water from a can) on high speed with 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks (about 5-10 minutes).
Roasted Carrots: In a bowl, toss baby carrots together with 1 tbsp of light olive oil, pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and 1/2 tsp of cumin, smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp of garlic powder. Air-fry or roast at 375 for 15 minutes until fork tender. Serve with turmeric whip."
