CALIFORNIA CHEESE AND VEGGIE GRAIN BOWLS
Makes 4 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup freekeh
1 (15 ½ oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, divided
3 Tbsp Real California sour cream or plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
1 small clove garlic
Sea salt and pepper to taste
6 cups arugula or baby kale blend greens
1 cup small cubes Real California Gouda, baby bella mushroom or Sicilian Jack cheese
1 cup roasted red pepper strips
½ small red onion, thinly sliced

Directions:
Bring water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Stir in freekeh and cook for 10 minutes; remove from heat and keep warm.
While freekeh is cooking, set aside ½ cup of beans and place the rest in a small food processor with yogurt, lemon juice, rosemary and garlic. Puree until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
To assemble bowls, place equal amounts of warm freekeh into 4 bowls and top with greens, cheese, red peppers, onion and reserved beans. Top each with spoonful of white bean puree.

Note: Freekeh (free-kha) is roasted green wheat. It’s high in protein and has almost twice the fiber and is higher in protein than quinoa. It’s also high in iron, calcium and zinc.
