Description
If you’ve been looking for an earthy, satisfying dish that’s simple to prepare but feels gourmet, farro bowl recipes are about to become your new go-to. These grain bowls offer flavor-packed comfort you can feel good about.
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked farro (whole or pearled)
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 cup roasted vegetables (sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, or beets)
1/2 cup crunchy elements (roasted chickpeas, sunflower seeds, or radish)
1/2 cup raw veggies (cucumbers, arugula, shredded carrot, or cherry tomatoes)
1/3 cup creamy component (avocado, hummus, or tahini sauce)
Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or dill)
Optional toppings: pickled onions, olives, lemon wedges
Instructions
1. Rinse farro under cold water and combine with broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Cook whole farro for about 35 minutes, or pearled for 20 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss chopped veggies in olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Roast for 25-30 minutes.
3. While cooking, prep raw veggies and sauces. Make tahini-lemon dressing or mashed avocado with lime.
4. Build the bowl with farro base, then layer roasted and raw veggies, creamy/crunchy toppings, herbs, and dressing.
5. Serve warm or store for up to 2 days for enhanced flavor blending.
Notes
Substitute based on season or pantry. Try squash instead of sweet potatoes or flavored tahini as dressing.
Great for meal prep. Cooked farro stores for 5 days refrigerated or a month frozen. Keep dressing separate until serving.
