Farro is a beautiful grain to work with. It is so nutty and delicious! Simply cook it like pasta, drain, and dress it to your heart's content. I love it with roasted tomatoes, goat cheese, and a big squeeze of lemon juice.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup farro

• 2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, a mix of red and yellow

• 4 ounces goat cheesse

• a handful of spinach leaves or other tasty greens

• extra virgin olive oil - a couple swirls

• 1 lemon

Method

1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.  Add salt and farro.  Cook until farro is al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain and toss with a swirl of olive oil.

2. While farro is cooking, heat a sauté pan and swirl in some olive oil.  Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until they are beautifully browned and start to fall apart.  Give them a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

3. Place the cooked farro in a bowl and toss in a handful of greens.  Add the roasted tomatoes and goat cheese.  Give it a good squeeze of lemon juice.  Add more salt and pepper if needed.

4. Serve and enjoy!
