Ingredients

  • Roasted Veggies and Farro
  • 2 cups farro
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 eggplant, cut into cubes
  • 1 package tofu
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • Olive Oil
  • Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 1 dash rice vinegar
  • 1 splash honey
  • water

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. When boiling, add the farro, cover, turn down the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-30 minutes, until tender yet firm. Drain any excess water and keep covered so it stays warm.
  • While the farro cooks prepare your vegetables. Lay the broccoli on half a baking sheet, and the eggplant on the other half. Drizzle both with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Put in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, turning after 20. Get 'em nice and crispy.
  • Cut your tofu square into slices. Lay them on another baking sheet and throw them in the oven to join the vegetables. Roast 10 minutes each side, until golden.
  • Steam your spinach! Sautee your bean sprouts in a little olive oil and a tablespoon of water, just until they become soft.
  • Add all the dressing ingredients, minus the water, into a bowl and mix together. Add water until it thins out and becomes the consistency you desire.
  • Put grains in serving bowls. Top with vegetables and tofu. Spoon dressing over the top, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
