For those of you seasoned WECO-ers, you might be familiar with our eggplant and grain bowl. This bomb-diggity bowl is similar to it’s farro + barley based cousin, but made with wild rice for our gluten free fraaaands! Wild rice has a pretty incredible history, it was first harvested by indigenous peoples in the Great Lakes region. Funny enough, it’s actually not rice but an aquatic grass! So, maybe this should be an eggplant and grass bowl… ugh, that really doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it?! Your eggplant and wild rice/grass today is accompanied by tomatoes marinated in garlic and parsley, and a sumac vinaigrette for drizzlin’ all over. If you got the braised beef too, flip the page for those instructions!
Total prep time: 2 minutes
What’s in your bag:
