Fresh Tomato Farro Puttanesca
Pasta can be swapped out for whole grains in most Italian dishes including this fresh tomato farro puttanesca, transforming this classic.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup pearled farro rinsed
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon capers, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped Kalamata & Castelvetrano olives
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the farro and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer the farro for 12-15 minutes until the grains are tender but still chewy. Pour into a fine mesh strainer to drain the remaining water and transfer the farro to a large bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and capers and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the olives, tomatoes, red pepper flakes salt & pepper and continue sautéing for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are a bit juicy. Fold the mixture into the farro along with the arugula and parsley.
- Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled from the fridge.
