• Cook grain according to package instructions. I love to use leftover rice or bulgur that is already in my refrigerator. Another option is to buy the brown rice in boil-in bags that can be cooked on the stovetop in about 10 minutes. 
• Steam broccoli in the microwave or on the stovetop. I steam mine in the microwave by placing florets in a microwave microwave-safe bowl, adding approximately 4 tablespoons of water, and cooking on high for 3 minutes.
• To assemble, place cooked rice or other grain in a medium serving bowl with cooked broccoli or other vegetables of choice. Roasted cauliflower or sweet potatoes work well too. 
• Add cooked beans if using. Normally, I used chickpeas in my veggie bowl, but any beans you have onhand will be fine. Some favorites are edamame, peas, lentils, black beans, or others.
• Add shredded broccoli, carrots, other vegetables, crushed peanuts.
• Drizzle tahini sauce over top and serve!

Tahini Sauce

• Add all ingredients except the water to a medium-sized bowl and whisk together. 
• Slowly add in water and whisk until creamy and pourable. If the mixture seems stiff at first, continue to whisk and add small amounts of water at a time until smooth and creamy.
• Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
