1. Dice 1/2 of a medium yellow onion. Heat 2 cups water to a boil in a teakettle or saucepan.
2. Meanwhile, sautee diced onion in 2 tbsp ghee in large pot. When the onions turn translucent, add rice & sunflower seeds. Roast the rice and seeds until slightly browned, releasing a rich aroma into the room. Then pour in your boiling water and add salt.
Cover and reduce the heat. Let simmer until all the water is absorbed and rice is tender. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
3. In a frying pan or cast iron, sautee mushrooms in 1 tsp ghee. When the mushrooms are tender and fully cooked, add lamb's quarters. Sautee for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. To serve, scoop your hearty sunflower rice onto a plate. Place a serving of lamb's quarter mushrooms on top of the rice. Enjoy!

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
