Ingredients
-
2 cups uncooked farro
-
6 cups water
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
4 cloves garlic (minced)
-
1 large fennel bulb (cut into ⅛-inch slices)
-
2 cups ¼-inch carrot slices (3 large carrots)
-
1 cup dry white wine
-
½ teaspoon fennel seed (crushed)
-
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
-
Juice and peel of 1 lemon, divided
-
1 tablespoon dried, mixed Italian herbs
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
-
¼–½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
¼ cup snipped flat-leaf parsley
-
½ cup coarsely chopped almonds (toasted)
-
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Rinse farro. In a large saucepan, place farro and water. Water should cover farro. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat and simmer until tender, stirring once or twice, about 30 minutes. Drain excess water.
- Meanwhile, in a very large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add Garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add another 1 tablespoon oil, along with sliced fennel and carrots. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are crisp-tender and browned, 10–12 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, and add wine and fennel seed.
- Return to heat, and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated and tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon peel, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and add spinach leaves; toss until spinach is slightly wilted.
- To farro, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, red pepper flakes and parsley; toss.
- To serve, divide farro mixture among bowls and top with vegetable mixture. Garnish each bowl with almonds and Parmesan.
