We covered the mains for Yom Tov, is it now time for the side dishes? (The hardest part, perhaps!) This grain works for the following reasons: 1) It’s something healthy, bright and lighter-feeling when everything else is heavy. 2) You can use any whole grain that you like. I love farro but brown rice, wild rice, wheat berries or barley would totally work. Even if your kids will only eat plain rice there will be other people at your table who will appreciate a healthy-ish side. 3) You don’t have to warm it up! You can make it ahead! It’s even good cold or at room temperature! (I think it’s even better made ahead). Just add the avocados and almonds fresh. This is a small recipe, but multiply as needed.
1 cup farro
juice of 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus to taste
1 teaspoon honey
2 cubes Gefen Frozen Basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cube Gefen Frozen Dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
3 scallions, chopped
3 tablespoons sliced almonds
1 avocado, chopped
Prepare farro according to package instructions.
In a small bowl, combine lemon, olive oil, garlic, salt, and honey.
When farro is cooked and ready, stir in dressing, herbs, and scallions. If you’re using frozen cubes, this is the best time to do it because they will dissolve into the mixture.
Stir in almonds and avocado before serving (save some almonds and avocado or use extra to sprinkle on the top).
