King Tuts Cauliflower Farro

I tried this cauliflower farro side at a cooking booth at my local farmer’s market and headed home to reproduce it. It has since become one of my family’s favorite side dishes. It’s vegan too! For a crunchier taste, use the celery and carrot raw.

Step: 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the farro at a boil until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step: 2

While the farro cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the cauliflower and onion in the hot oil until the cauliflower begins to soften and the onion starts to become clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the carrot, celery, and salt into the cauliflower mixture; continue cooking and stirring until the cauliflower is completely tender.

Step: 3

Combine the farro and the cauliflower mixture in a large bowl; stir to mix evenly. Pour the lemon juice over the mixture and stir. Serve immediately.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
