In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cooked black beans, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mash the mixture until well combined but still chunky.
Form the mixture into small balls and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until crispy.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the grain base. Cook 1 cup of brown rice according to package instructions.
Chop 1 cup of bell peppers, 1 cup of broccoli, and 1 cup of arugula, then sauté them in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until tender.
For the tahini sauce, whisk together 0.25 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of water, and salt to taste until smooth.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among four bowls, top with sautéed vegetables, baked falafel, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
