Ingredients
-
Grains:
-
1 cup
barley (uncooked)
-
salt
-
olive oil
-
Creamy Tahini Dressing:
-
2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons
tahini
-
1.5 cups
1.5 cups walnuts, lightly toasted
Directions
-
Cook barley or other grain of choice according to package instructions. Add a pinch of salt to the cooking water. Barley takes roughly 45 minutes to cook to a tender chewiness.
-
While the barley is cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients as follows:
-
Toast the nuts on a baking sheet - approx 5 min @ 400F. Set aside.
-
Trim, wash and dry off your pieces of broccoli. Toss with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast @ 400F for 15-20 min tossing halfway through. When there is about 5 minutes of the roasting time remaining for the broccoli, toss it with 2-3 Tbs of the Creamy Tahini Dressing.
-
Prepare the Creamy Tahini Dressing. The dressing will be fairly potent on its own, but is perfect when added to the broccoli bowls.
-
Slice, chop and crumble any add-ins.
-
When the barley is done, build your bowls, top with dressing and enjoy!

NOTES
If you like a lot of dressing, I'd suggest doubling the recipe. You can always save some for later in the week!
