Here Comes the Sun Breakfast Bowl

Preparation

1. For the sweet potatoes:

   Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 450°F.

   Step 2

   Rub the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then wrap them in foil and roast until a small knife easily pierces the sweet potato, about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices

2. For the farro, wild rice, or freekeh:

   Step 3

   In a rice cooker: Combine your chosen grain with the water, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and 1 pinch of the sea salt. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions.

   Step 4

   On the stovetop: In a saucepan, combine your chosen grain with the water, 1 tablespoon the olive oil, and 1 pinch of the salt and bring to a soft boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until done, about 45 minutes for farro, wild rice and whole freekeh; 20 minutes for cracked freekeh.

3. For the kale:

   Step 5

   While the grains and sweet potatoes are cooking: In a medium sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the kale and sauté until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. (Add a small amount of water if the kale begins to stick or turn too brown.) Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

4. For the dressing:

   Step 6

   In a bowl, whisk together the kefir, parsley, 1/2 cup olive oil, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice. Set aside.

5. For the sunny-side up eggs:

   Step 7

   In the same pan as the kale, cook the eggs in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to sunny-side up perfection, seasoning with sea salt toward the end.

6. To plate:

   Step 8

   Place the sautéed kale in a wide, deep bowl. Sprinkle with black beans, cooked grains, tomatoes, and sweet potato. Drizzle with the dressing, then slide the eggs on top before enjoying.
