Ingredients

Grain Bowl

1 cup dry farro cooked according to package instructions
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 cup mushrooms halved
1 cup green beans halved
1 cup brussels sprouts halved
1 cup red pepper chopped
1 cup onion chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons pine nuts toasted
1/4 cup lemon tahini dressing
2 Tablespoons balsamic glaze

Dressing

1/4 cup tahini well-stirred
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2-3 Tablespoons cold water to thin

Instructions

Grain Bowl

Cook the farro according to package instructions. For extra flavor, use broth instead of water.
Chop the veggies and arrange them on a rimmed baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper or additional seasonings as desired. Roast at 400°F for 20 minutes or until tender.
While the farro is cooking and the vegetables are roasting, toast the pine nuts in a small skillet on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often to prevent burning.
Make the lemon tahini dressing by combining tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and mixing. Then whisk in cold water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until you reach desired consistency.
Divide the ingredients into desired number of bowls, starting with the farro, adding the roasted veggies, and topping off each bowl with a sprinkle of pine nuts, drizzle of dressing, and balsamic glaze as desired.
