Apple Farro Salad Recipe By Tasty Recipes

APPLE CIDER FARRO

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups each apple cider and water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in 1 1/2 cups farro, 3 strips lemon zest and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until the farro is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Whisk 2 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add the farro and toss. Top with grated Parmesan.

FARRO SALAD WITH APPLES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Add water or broth, farro, bay leaf, and a big pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, until farro is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain the farro.
• In a large salad bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, and honey or maple syrup until blended. Gradually add the oil, whisking constantly, until the dressing looks well blended and creamy. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Add the sliced apples, cooked and drained farro, arugula, herbs, nuts, and the raisins. Toss well. Crumble goat cheese on top, and then serve.

FARRO WITH CARAMELIZED VEGGIES AND APPLES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 25 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until soft and pale golden, about 15 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the butter. When melted, add the turnip, greens and apple and cook, stirring, until everything is tender and golden brown in spots, 10 to 12 minutes more. Add the farro and crushed red pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and serve warm.

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the farro, apple cider, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, until the farro is tender. (If all the liquid is absorbed before the farro is tender, add a little more water.) Drain the farro and transfer to a large serving bowl. Discard the bay leaves.
• Meanwhile, in a small measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir the vinaigrette into the warm farro and set aside for at least 15 minutes to cool.
• Before serving, stir in the pistachios, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and radishes. Add the arugula and lightly fold in the Parmesan so as not to break it up too much. Sprinkle with the sea salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring farro, apple cider, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups water to a simmer. Simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates before the farro is done, add a little more water. Let farro cool, then discard bay leaves.
• In a salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese and pistachio nuts and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish and flaky salt to taste.
