Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup farro, dry
- 2 tbsp ghee or butter
- 12 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup rainbow carrots, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium shallot, sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar can substitute red wine vinegar
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Zesty Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 Tbsp dijon mustard (stone ground)
- 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar can substitute red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
Make the Zesty Aioli
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, sherry vinegar, honey, salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside until ready to plate (if you have a squeeze bottle, you can transfer it to that).
Prepare the Grain Bowl
- Using the chicken broth instead of water, cook the farro according to package directions.
- While farro cooks, heat 1 tbsp of ghee or butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add mushrooms and carrots, and cook until moisture releases and evaporates and they are nicely browned, 13-15 minutes. DO NOT SALT YET!
- Once the mushrooms and carrots have nice color on them, add the additional 1 tbsp of ghee or butter, garlic and shallot, and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper, stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add a splash of sherry vinegar, and stir to combine.
- Add spinach, and stir to combine until just wilted, 1-2 minutes.
- By this point, your farro should be cooked and all the broth cooked down. Add the farro to your vegetables and fold in gently to combine.
- Divide between bowls, top with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of the zesty aioli. Enjoy!
Notes
Marjoram is a nice compliment when cooking mushrooms, as it brings out more of that earthy flavor.
Farro is a great source of fiber, iron, protein and magnesium, making it an excellent choice for a grain bowl.
Best served warm!
