What is Farro

You can make any dish by starting with a grain. You might be familiar with rice and quinoa but have you tried farro? It is very easy to cook and is chewy in texture. High in protein and fiber you should give this ancient grain a try. Farro is closely linked to its brother grain Barley. They are pretty much the same, the only difference is farro being more thin and oblong in shape. But in most recipes, they can interchangeably be used. It is popular in Mediterranean dishes. Make cooking farro more exciting buy using stock as cooking liquid or seasoning the cooking liquid with your blend of spices.

Easily make farro good on their own by tossing it in olive oil, lemon and garlic salt.

What’s in the pot?

We got a nice hearty pot of barley tossed in garlic salt, olive oil and lemons. Feel free to dress up your grains with flavor that they are good to consume on their own. Pan roasted vegetables drizzled with olive oil pairs well with any grain or noodle you may have on hand. Throw in some greens as well for some crunch and fiber. Top with vegan meats or protein too! In this case we used Thrilling foods “vegan bacon”. Main components in this pot:

  • Grains
  • Greens
  • Vegetable
  • Vegan meat

Having this format, you’ll be able to mix and match endless combinations of flavors, textures, cuisines and experiences.

What you need

  • Farro
  • Kale
  • Squash

  • Bakon Strips

What you do
