Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Add white beans or lentils for protein and substance.
A pinch of black pepper increases turmeric absorption by 2000%.
Use homemade bone broth for even more nutrition.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.
Reheating
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 2-3 minutes. Add a splash of broth or water to prevent drying. Stovetop reheating over medium-low heat is also effective.
