This Farro, Kale, and Kohlrabi Salad with Dijon-Garlic Vinaigrette is a meal in itself. You have all the nutrients needed here, and more. It is satisfying and hearty with the big pieces of toasted cashews, and the kohlrabi gives it a wonderful bite that goes beyond a simple salad. The vinaigrette is also great to use on any other salad you like.

Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette

Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette

It might still be 100 degrees in sunny Arizona, but that doesn’t prevent me from developing fall-flavored recipes for you folks in the northern states. This Farro and Bean Bowl with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette is all you can ask for on a cool fall night. It can be served warm or at room temperature, it is sweet and savory, and packs a great amount of protein and nutrients. This bowl requires few ingredients (which can be adapted to the seasons) and the vinaigrette is finger-licking-good. The kids asked for seconds on this one, and that makes it always a winner. Again I had Chinese long beans, which are in season now in Arizona, but feel free to use regular green beans or even French beans for your farro bowl.

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup farro, cooked according to package directions
  • 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
  • 3 cups green beans, washed, trimmed, and cut in 1-inch lengths
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, washed, cored and seeded, and diced
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 1/3 cup toasted pecan halves
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

For the Vinaigrette:

  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed and mashed with salt (you can go easier on the garlic, but you know me!)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup grapeseed oil
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

For the bowl, once your farro is cooked according to package directions, set aside. Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans, bell pepper, and shallot, season to taste with salt and pepper, and sauté until just tender, about 4-5 minutes (alternatively, you can lower the heat and let the vegetables caramelized slowly).

While the vegetables are cooking, make the vinaigrette. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk. Add the farro to the vegetables once they are done, as well as the vinaigrette. Mix well, serve in bowls, and top with some toasted pecans. Bon appétit!

Sweet Potato and Farro Bowl

~ Karine K ~ 1 Comment
Sweet Potato and Farro Bowl
Sweet Potato and Farro Bowl

Last night, we had these Sweet Potato and Farro Bowls for dinner. We are still talking about it. They were so refreshing, crisp and pretty, but also complete and filling. You can adapt the bowl to the seasons and to your tastes. I decided to add the white nectarine yesterday, because that’s what I had on hand. You could use spinach instead of kale, and barley instead of farro. Your bowl, your call.

Farro, an Italian food composed of the grains of certain wheat species, can be eaten plain, but is usually added to salads or soups. It is one of my favorites because of its crunchiness. If you can’t find it, feel free to use any other grain you like.

  • Cook Time: 35 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup farro
  • 1 1/2 pound sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 3 teaspoons sumac
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch Lacinato kale, ribs removed and torn into bite-size pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450˚. In a large mixing bowl, mix the potatoes, the 2 tablespoons olive oil, the sumac and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all the potatoes are coated. Place in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, turning them over about halfway.

While the potatoes are roasting, cook the farro according to the package instructions, in a large pot.

While the farro is cooking and the potatoes are roasting, pickle the onion. In a small saucepan, mix the onion, vinegar, maple syrup and 3/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat for 6 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Once the farro is cooked, drain the excess water and return the farro to the pot. Add the kale, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Drain the liquid from the pickled onion, add to the pot of farro and kale. Add the sweet potatoes, and add the lemon juice. Check for seasonings. Spoon into shallow bowls and add the fruit, avocado, if desired, and herbs on the side.  Bon appétit!
