Farro. So easy. I measure a cup or two into a pot and wash it in cool water, rubbing the grains together, and replacing the water a couple of times. Then add about twice the volume of water per volume of grain. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or less, to retain a bit of chewiness.
Warm or cold, plain or sauced, added to vegetables, tuna, meat.
Yum.
This morning the chores were done and I was hard at work in the garden quite early, planting the marked-down organic vegetables I bought at the feed store yesterday. They have been valiantly striving to grow in their little plastic pots, and I want to get them right into the ground as soon as possible. Flourish, little plants! I will try to help!
So by 9 AM, I had already been sweating and providing breakfast for countless mosquitoes for about three hours. Time for my breakfast. As I limped back to the house, I was thrilled to recall that I had cooked a pot of farro last night, and mixed one bowlful with a generous glug of sesame ginger salad dressing.
Yum!
So refreshing. And so pleasant to relax on the screen porch for a while with Piper, enjoying the hummingbirds at the feeder, and planning the rest of the day.
Now it's 10:30, and on to the next task. A little bit of fencework, and loading up for the Saturday dump run. Whee!
Hope your Saturday is lovely :)
