Instruction
- <p>1. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, pour in the farro and cook for 10-20 minutes or until just tender. Drain and spread out on a tray to cool.</p> <p>2. Put the farro in a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients except for the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and seasoning. Mix well, then add the dressing and mix through thoroughly. Check the seasoning.</p> <p>3. Place on a large platter to serve as part of a mezze table, or spoon onto a plate and serve with roasted or barbequed meat or seafood.</p> <p>NOTE: Farro is almost identical to spelt and available from selected delicatessens.
