Description
Meet farro. Farro is a simple whole grain with twice the fiber and protein of wheat. It is able to be grown in poor soil and has a nutty texture when cooked. I found mine in the bulk bins of my local specialty grocery.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- ½ cups Farro
- 2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
- ¼ cups Pitted Dates, Chopped
- ¼ cups Chopped Walnuts
Preparation
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in farro and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Stir frequently during cooking.
Top each serving with brown sugar, chopped dates, and walnuts.
