FARRO SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND ROMANO BEANS



Farro Salad With Tomatoes and Romano Beans image

If you are unfamiliar with farro, here's a primer: Farro is a whole wheat berry with a complex, nutty taste and a hearty texture. In cooking you can use it interchangeably with spelt or wheat berries, though farro is sometimes softer than spelt or wheat berries when cooked. Cook the grains in at least 3 times their volume of salted water or stock for 50 minutes, or until some of the grains begin to splay. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes, then drain. A cup of uncooked farro will yield three cups cooked.

Tips for Making Farro Salad with Tomatoes and Romano Beans

- Use a good quality farro. Look for farro that is plump and firm, with no signs of pests or damage. - Rinse the farro thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris. - Cook the farro according to the package directions. Be sure to use plenty of water, as farro can absorb a lot of liquid. - Let the farro cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery. - Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the salad. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes. - If you can't find romano beans, you can substitute another type of green bean, such as haricot verts or green beans. - Use a light vinaigrette dressing for the salad.
