FARRO SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN



Farro Salad With Asparagus and Parmesan image

Got this from All Recipes.com and was so good I wanted to share, the chewy nutty texture is wonderful. A nice change from regular green salads, and left overs are even better the next day. The long cook time is mostly just simmering the grains

Time 50m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
2 cups farro
1/2 cup golden raisins
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup coarsely grated ricotta salata

Steps:

Spread the farro out onto a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until it smells nutty, about 7 minutes. Add the toasted farro to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and toss with the raisins, lemon zest and juice in a large serving bowl.

  • Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove the asparagus from the oven and add the tomatoes to the baking sheet. Return to the oven and roast until the tomatoes begin to blister, about 3 minutes more.
  • Toss the roasted asparagus and tomatoes with the farro along with the parsley. Top with the ricotta salata and serve.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND FARRO SALAD



Grilled Asparagus and Farro Salad image

This superfood salad uses the ancient whole grain farro as its base, it has a nutty flavor and satisfying chew (not to mention eight grams of fiber per serving). To compliment and add texture to every bite, stalks of asparagus are grilled, chopped, and tossed in along with lemon zest, almonds, fistfulls of dill and scallions, and briny feta cheese. Great on its own as a vegetarian meal, this recipe can also serve as a formidable co-star to any grilled chicken dish.

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD



Charlie Bird's Farro Salad image

There are two essential steps to a stellar farro salad. The first is cooking the farro with enough salt and aromatics so that it delicious before you combine it with the rest of the ingredients. The second is to use very good olive oil in the dressing. This farro salad, from the restaurant Charlie Bird in SoHo, hits both these marks. The chef Ryan Hardy cooks the farro in apple cider seasoned with bay leaves and plenty of salt, which renders it good enough to eat on its own. But it's even better after he adds loads of olive oil, plus pistachio nuts and Parmesan cheese to make it even richer. Then, before serving, he folds in fresh vegetables to brighten it up: juicy tomatoes, radishes, arugula and plenty of herbs. There are many farro salads of this ilk out there. This is one of the best.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weeknight, salads and dressings, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup farro
1 cup apple cider
2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
2 bay leaves
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
70 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler (1/2 cup)
70 grams chopped pistachio nuts (1/2 cup)
2 cups arugula leaves
1 cup parsley or basil leaves, torn
1 cup mint leaves
3/4 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/3 cup thinly sliced radish
Maldon or other flaky sea salt, for finishing

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring farro, apple cider, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups water to a simmer. Simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates before the farro is done, add a little more water. Let farro cool, then discard bay leaves.
  • In a salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese and pistachio nuts and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish and flaky salt to taste.

FARRO SALAD



Farro Salad image

Farro, an ancient grain, has long been a common ingredient in Italy, but it is now gaining in popularity in the United States. You can use farro to make a type of risotto or in soups, but dressed with a lemony vinaigrette, it makes a lovely grain salad, enhanced by a variety of green vegetables.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, grains and rice, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound skinny green beans (haricots verts), topped and tailed
1/2 pound sugar snap peas or snow peas, topped and tailed
1 cup farro
3 tablespoons finely diced shallots
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound medium to large asparagus, tough ends snapped off
2 medium firm, ripe avocados
A handful of basil leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and snap peas, and cook for 1 minute. Fish out the beans with a spider, mesh strainer or slotted spoon. Rinse briefly in cool water, then blot on a kitchen towel and set aside.
  • Add farro to the pot, and cook until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain and spread out on a baking sheet or platter to cool.
  • As the farro cooks, make the vinaigrette: Put shallots in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, lemon juice and zest, and leave for 5 minutes, then whisk in olive oil.
  • Season the farro lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with half the vinaigrette, toss and mound.
  • Slice the asparagus in very thin, lengthwise ribbons with a thin-bladed knife or mandolin and place in a medium-size bowl. Add cooked green beans, snap peas and thick slices of avocado. Salt lightly, add remaining vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
  • Arrange dressed vegetables over farro, garnish with basil leaves and serve.
