Method

1

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add farro and toast, stirring frequently, for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

2

Pour in vegetable broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25–30 minutes until farro is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

3

Drain any remaining liquid in a colander. Transfer farro to a large mixing bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

4

While farro cooks, prepare primary and secondary vegetables: dice, slice, or cut into bite-sized pieces. Chop fresh herbs.

5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

6

Add prepared vegetables, herbs, and protein (if using) to the cooled farro. Pour dressing over and toss until everything is well coated.

7

Divide into serving bowls and top with toasted seeds or nuts. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
