Grain bowls can be the perfect meal solution anytime of year, but we especially love making them in the summer when grilling vegetables always feels like a good idea. When you use our rice and chana, preparing these bowls couldn’t be easier.

Serves 2

Ingredients

Grilled vegetables:

4-5 baby zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise

1 summer squash, sliced on a bias

½ pineapple, cored and cubed

4-5 baby bok choy, sliced in half lengthwise

1 package Black Chickpeas, Tamarind & Sweet Potato Organic Everyday Chana

Raita Sauce:

½ cup sour cream or yogurt

What to do with the other half of the pineapple? Grill it up, then serve it for dessert with vanilla ice cream and toasted coconut!
