  1. Yum! I make something similar with barley. Love cold barley salad. Can't wait to try it with Farro! Thanks ATK!

  2. I've never heard of farro, but this recipe makes me want to try it as it as it appears to be more diabetic friendly and looks delicious. Thanks for all the hard work y'all do and for sharing.

  3. Love!!! I’m going to make this tomorrow and substitute it violife or kite hill cheese

  4. guys, if you don't have a lot of fiber already in your diet, Farrow and grains like barley can cause abdominal pain if you eat a lot in one sitting. just warning those of you with sensitive stomaches.

  5. I love farro, it's my go to grain now. It's stupid easy to cook, almost impossible to ruin. It reheats well, keeping it's texture. It goes with a huge variety of dishes. You can cook it exactly like all your risotto dishes. Farro is the bomb!

  6. How about roasting the veggies and sprinkle a little crushed red pepper for a warm side dish?

  7. I notice that Becky does mainly vegetarian dishes. I wonder if she is a vegetarian or if that is just her specialty.

  8. I have to admit that this recipe is not my style(but since it is recently posted I have a better chance of reaching you through the comments). That being said, you did an AWESOME stir-fry recipe a few days ago! I’d like to ask about the sauce though; what about stir fry sauces which are store bought for those of us who are too lazy/busy to build the sauce? For myself, I’m actually likening PF Chang’s store bought sauce, but they seem specifically designed for each dish. What is the MOST VERSATILE store bought stir-fry sauce? Will you take up the gauntlet for the lazy consumer and let us know? I think it’s a practical question since many people seem to want the quick convenience and since you have the resources most don’t it would make an interesting video. Thank you for the thoroughness delicious work you do!

  9. Lovely recipe idea. I find farro even more flavorful if lightly toasted it in olive oil before cooking it in chicken or veg stock. YUM… beats rice by a mile – so does barley.

  10. I like to boil it in something like pork stock (Mark Bittman school) with less water so you don't drain it

  11. I've never heard of farro but I'd definitely like to eat this salad minus the feta. There's not much you ladies make that I don't wanna eat, you just make everything look great😊

  12. Thank You Ladies! I recently discovered Farro and I cooked it according to the package’s direction and it was so mushy! Your method is far superior and foolproof!

  13. I used to make similar salad with cous cous it was basically a Greek salad and it was a great side with grilled meat and great for a picnic.

  14. A half cup of sliced black olives and we're talkin' about a tasty lunch. Farro is a great substitute to rice.

  15. Little known fact, farro is actually not originally Italian. It is an ancient Egyptian grain imported from Egypt to Rome to feed the masses
