Grains

Here you’ll find vegetarian main dish recipes that include delicious and hearty whole grains like farro, wheat berries and rice from dinner salads to hearty soups and stew. Although not a true grain, quinoa is included here since it’s cooked and enjoyed like a grain. If your up for wheat berries, give this reader favorite Crunchy Chickpea Summer Salad a go. For a delicious brown rice main, try this company worthy Roasted Fennel Brown Rice Gratin. The recipe I make most from this category: Thai Veggie Fried Rice with Toasty Cashews.
