Nutty Cilantro Lime Farro
Cilantro Lime Farro is a soft and chewy grain tossed with lime and cilantro. As easy to prepare as rice, but with a deliciously nutty flavor!
Ingredients
- 2 cups farro
- 6 cups water
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
- Juice and zest of 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Rinse the farro, then add it to a large saucepan with the water, olive oil, bay leaf and salt.
- Bring the farro to a boil and reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches the consistency you like. (I did 20 minutes for soft and chewy.)
- Remove the bay leaf and drain the farro, then return it to the pot.
- Toss in the zest and juice of the lime and lemon as well as the chopped cilantro and it’s ready to serve.
