As we enter fall, a warm, nourishing bowl of ancient grains sounds just right. And to keep it interesting—and flavorful—why not add some citrus marinated squid?

“Mixing in a range of lovely heritage grains and then combining them with the flavors of the Mediterranean is a really nice way to create a healthy lunch option that’s very well balanced and delicious,” says Seamus Mullen, executive chef at Wanderlust Hollywood.
