Baby Broccolini, Falafel, and Barley Grain Bowls

Preheat oven to 200ºF. Prepare the falafel according to directions and place in an oven-safe dish to keep warm.

Heat oil in a cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped broccolini, cover, and cook for 5–7 minutes until pieces turn a darker green color. Add garlic and onions and cover again, turning the heat to low and cook for an additional 5–7 minutes until onions soften and become lightly translucent and broccoli is lightly charred. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.

To assemble the bowls, place about 1/2 to 2/3 cup each of the barley and vegetables in each bowl. Top with 2 to 3 pieces of falafel, garnish with fresh cilantro and goat cheese, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve immediately.

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
