A Dish That Tastes As Good As It Looks!
The question that many people ask themselves when seeing this dish is “why is it purple?” Well, if you are one of them, today is your lucky day because the Minute® team is going to explain it to you!
The Vegetable Escabeche & Rice is prepared with our Butter & Sea Salt Jasmine Rice Cups and pickled vegetables. The key ingredient that makes this dish stand out is the purple cauliflower (no, it isn’t dyed!) In fact, its signature color is thanks to an antioxidant called anthocyanin.
