Rice, Grains & Bowls

Rice dishes, grain bowls and one-dish meals worth building a meal around.

A pot of rice or a bowl of grains is a blank canvas for a whole meal. This roundup gathers the recipes on recipesvibrant that build on rice, quinoa, barley, farro, couscous, bulgur, millet and polenta — everyday rice pilafs, beans-and-rice bowls, hearty grain salads, stuffed peppers and baked casseroles. Grains stretch a little protein a long way, soak up sauces and dressings, and keep you full for hours, which is why they anchor so many of the most-saved dinners on the site. Cook a batch at the start of the week and these dishes come together in minutes. Use the filters to sort by cooking time or calories, and see the highest-rated bowls first.
