Amazing and Easy Farro and Broccoli Salad

Dear Turkey,

This is another

Recipe that is more than 

The sum of its parts

Amazing and Easy Farro and Broccoli Salad

(serves 4, adapted from smitten kitchen)

Ingredients:

- 1 c semi-pearled farro, boiled/simmered in salted water until tender (about 30 minutes), drained if water is left in the pot (you can also use barley, pasta, whatever you want)

- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes

- 2-3 c broccoli, diced (frozen is fine), some stems and leaves are fine, steamed in the microwave until just tender

- 3 T olive oil

- 2 t minced garlic (jarred is fine)

- zest and juice of 1 lemon (I would spring for an actual lemon here)

- 1/2 c pecorino romano, grated 

Instructions:

- Heat oil, garlic, and spices for about a minute until the garlic starts to brown. Add the broccoli and lemon zest and cook, stirring, for 3-4 more minutes, until it smells amazing. Remove from heat.

- Stir in the farro, lemon juice, and cheese. Season to taste. 

- Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. I topped mine with a burrata and it was amazing.

Enjoy,

Tofu
