Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/3 cup finely-chopped fresh cilantro leaves loosely-packed
  • zest and juice of 1 small lime (about 2 tablespoons juice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of cumin and garlic powder and black pepper

Instructions

  • Place farro in a medium saucepan and add the stock. (It should cover the farro.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Once the farro is cooked and chewy, drain off any excess liquid.
  • Add remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Season with extra salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm.
