Ingredients

  • 1 pint cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 red or yellow bell peppers, cut into about 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion cut into about 1 inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups dry farro
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Mix the mushrooms, peppers, onion, garlic, 1 Tbsp olive oil and balsamic vinegar until all vegetables are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper (about 1/4 tsp each). Spread vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes until vegetables are roasted and fragrant.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, bring 3 1/2 cups water to boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the farro, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook until farro is tender - about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain farro well and put into a medium bowl.
  • Combine the lemon juice, oil, parsley, tarragon and honey in a bowl or jar and mix rapidly to combine.
  • Mix the cooked farro, roasted vegetables, and vinaigrette together until evenly mixed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
