A grain bowl without seasoning is a bowl of rice. Za'atar stirred into warm quinoa with olive oil and lemon. Dukkah on farro with roasted vegetables. Sumac over a rice bowl with chickpeas and herbs. Ras el hanout in couscous with dried fruit and almonds. Chaat masala on a spiced chickpea bowl. These are the finishing spices that make grain bowls worth building from scratch.
