A delicious, quick side dish. Simmer farro in water with sautéed onion, carrots and celery.The aromatic vegetables add delicate flavor to the cooked grains.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 Small yellow onion, quartered

1 Small carrot, halved

1 Celery rib, halved

3 Cups shredded muenster cheese

12 Ounces farro (1¾ cups)

5 Cups water

Kosher Salt

3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

Freshly ground pepper

½ Small red onion, thinly sliced

1 Small seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

1 Pint grape tomatoes, halved

¼ Cup chopped fresh basil

Directions:

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the yellow onion, carrot and celery, cover and cook over moderately low heat until barely softened, about 5 minutes. Add the farro and stir to coat with oil. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the farro is barely tender, about 10 minutes; season with salt. Cover and simmer until the farro is al dente, about 10 minutes longer. Drain the farro and discard the onion, carrot and celery. Let cool completely.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup of olive oil with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the farro, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper and serve.
