Farro seeds are a new trend! You can get them in your organic bulk food stores. They are a delicious superfood grain with 7g of protein per serving! Try them out in this recipe!
3/4 cup Farro seeds
4 cups of water
1 diced tomato
2 chopped green onions
1-2 minced cloves of garlic
5-8 leaves of chopped/minced fresh basil (or dried basil if you don't have the real goodz)
1-2 TBSP of white wine vinegar (depends on how much you like)
2-3 TBSP of olive oil
1 TSP of ground mustard (mustard seeds are nice too!)
1 TBSP of lemon juice (optional)
Put farro seeds in water and bring to a boil. Reduce to med-high and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and set to cool. In a bowl, add diced tomato, and chop up the green onion. Mince garlic and basil. Mix white wine vinegar, oil, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. You can cool the farro with cold water and then add the tomato bowl and the vinaigrette. Enjoy!!
This is a very acidic recipe. It's delicious and healthy, for those acid-lovers! :P
Peace, and health!
