“My Farro Lady” bowl by chef Victoria Shore of Recess
Yields two servings
Ingredients
• 1 cup Farro, or other wheat berries
• ¼ cup Kale Pesto (recipe below, or other store-bought pesto)
• 1 head broccoli, broken into florets
• 2 cups arugula
• 2 radishes, sliced
• ½ cup golden raisins
• ½ cup white wine
• 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
• Lemon juice
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper
Direction
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Pour the farro into the boiling water. (If using a harder wheat berry, the cooking time will be different). Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the grains are al dente. Drain off any remaining water and season the grains with olive oil and salt.
Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring the white wine and apple cider vinegar to a boil. Pour over the raisins in a heat-proof container and cover.
Heat olive oil in a pan (cast iron is preferable). Add broccoli florets and let them sit, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until they begin to char. Stir occasionally and continue to cook until tender, but still with some crunch. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Place a dollop of pesto at the bottom of each bowl, then drag a swipe up the side. Place 1 cup of the cooked grains on top of the pesto. Dress the arugula with lemon juice and olive oil and place salad on the side of the grains. Top with radish slices. Add the broccoli to the bowl next to the salad. Top with marinated golden raisins and enjoy!
Kale Pesto recipe:
• 1 bunch green kale
• 1 bunch parsley, preferably flat leaf
• 1 cup basil, picked
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 lemons
• 1.5 teaspoon salt
Wash and roughly chop kale, parsley, and basil. Place in a food processor with almonds, garlic, oil, lemon juice and salt. Turn the processor on and pulse a few times, then let it run until the mix is thick and creamy. Add more salt or lemon juice as needed.
