FARRO AND LENTILS WITH JAMMY ONIONS



Farro and Lentils With Jammy Onions image

Simmering chopped onions in a generous amount of olive oil is a two-for-one deal: The onions go soft and sweet while the oil gets infused with deep flavor. While the onions sizzle and simmer, the lentils and farro boil together until al dente, keeping the dish a speedy weeknight option. This makes a great warm side dish or a satisfying make-ahead grain salad. (Leftovers keep for up to three days.) Red-pepper flakes add heat, and lemon peel provides floral sweetness; you could also add whole spices, capers or other additions, if you like. Accessorize with hearty greens, soft herbs, eggs, smoked fish or leftover roasted vegetables.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lemon
2/3 cup olive oil
2 large yellow onions, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup brown or green lentils
1 cup farro

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1-inch-wide strips of zest from the lemon. In a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the olive oil, onions, lemon peel and red-pepper flakes over medium. Season with salt and pepper, and cover. When you hear sizzling, uncover, reduce heat, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. If at any point the onions risk burning, reduce heat and add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water. Remove from heat.
  • Once the water's boiling, add the lentils and farro and simmer, uncovered, until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold water until cool, shake very dry, and season with salt.
  • Pluck out the lemon peel from the onions and coarsely chop. Add the chopped peel, farro and lentils to the onions. Stir to combine, then add lemon juice, to taste, about 2 to 4 tablespoons. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, patted dry
Kosher salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup red lentils, rinsed

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

  • Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.

  • Ladle soup into bowls; drizzle with yogurt and top with reserved onion mixture, dividing evenly.

ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE FARRO SALAD



Artichoke and Olive Farro Salad image

Farro, a nutty Italian grain with a chewy texture, is an excellent candidate for a savory, herb-flecked pantry salad that travels well. The grain is not intimidated by bold flavors: Tangy oil-marinated artichokes, briny kalamata olives, feta and crisp red onion take wholesome farro by the hand and lead it straight to the dance floor. Cook times vary depending on the type of farro. Quick-cooking, pearled or semi-pearled all work well, but hulled is not recommended here, as it would need soaking and takes a long time to cook. Don't be shy with the oil and vinegar: The farro absorbs them the longer it sits. If farro is not available, you can use orzo (see Tip), or other hearty grains like barley, wheat berries or freekeh.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1 cup quick-cook, pearled or semi-pearled farro, rinsed and drained (see Tip)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced in half lengthwise
About 1 cup (5.4 ounces) marinated quartered artichoke hearts from a jar, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill leaves
1/4 medium red onion, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives

Steps:

  • Set aside a sheet pan or a large plate. Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the farro and give it a stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook according to package instructions, skimming off any foam that rises, until the grains are tender and plump. Depending on the type of farro used, this can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Drain the farro and transfer to the sheet pan or plate; spread out and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. (If the farro is left to cool in the strainer, it will keep cooking, take longer to cool and turn mushy.)
  • Transfer the farro to a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, oil and ½ teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Add the olives, artichoke, feta, dill, red onion and chives, and season with black pepper to taste. Stir and taste. Add more salt, vinegar and oil, as needed.
  • Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The farro will absorb the vinegar and oil the longer it sits. Adjust seasoning, vinegar and oil before serving.

BAKED FARRO WITH LENTILS, TOMATO AND FETA



Baked Farro With Lentils, Tomato and Feta image

This cold-weather comfort food is loaded with bright flavors and delightful textures. Farro and lentils cook in the same amount of time, so you can bake them together in a garlicky tomato sauce to yield silky, tender lentils and chewy, toothsome farro. For an extra nutty flavor, you can toast the farro first. To finish the dish, place large slices of feta on top and broil until the cheese slouches in the center and crisps at the edges, but you can also use mozzarella or Cheddar.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, casseroles, grains and rice, vegetables, main course

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup farro
1/2 cup dried green or brown lentils
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (28-ounce) can tomato purée (or substitute your favorite tomato sauce)
2 sprigs oregano, thyme, rosemary or basil, or 1/2 teaspoon dried (all optional)
1 (8-ounce) block feta

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and place one rack 6 inches from the broiler. Place the farro in an 8-by-8-inch (or 2-quart) broiler-proof baking dish and transfer to the oven to toast, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and scatter the lentils over the farro.
  • While the farro toasts, make the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato purée, herb sprigs (if using), and 2 1/2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  • Gently pour the tomato sauce over the lentils and farro and stir to combine. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the lentils and farro are tender, 40 to 50 minutes. If at any point the mixture looks dry, add 1/4 cup water. Meanwhile, cut the feta into 1/4-inch slices and break each piece in half.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broil setting. Stir the lentils and farro once more, discard the herb sprigs (if using), then top with the slices of feta. Drizzle with olive oil and broil until the feta is molten and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. (Depending on your broiler, you may need to rotate the pan after 2 or 3 minutes, for even cooking.)

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for organic farro and lentils, and use fresh vegetables and herbs. - Rinse the farro and lentils thoroughly before cooking to remove any dirt or debris. - Cook the farro and lentils according to the package directions.

This will take about 30 minutes, so start them early. - Once the farro, lentils, and onions are cooked, combine them in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. - Serve the farro and lentils warm or at room temperature.
