Author: Simple Fit Vegan
Ingredients
  • 1 cup farro
  • 3 sweet bell peppers: red, yellow or orange, chopped lengthwise
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. First, let’s cook farro. Rinse farro in a fine mesh sieve under cold water. Transfer to a pot and add water. Cover, bring to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 25 minutes. Taste the farro to make sure it’s cooked all the way through. Farro should be soft, but chewy, and not hard. Once farro is cooked, drain through a sieve. Set aside.
  2. While farro is cooking, let’s roast the veggies. First, heat up a grill pan, add a little bit of olive oil and then the sweet bell peppers. Cook them thoroughly, stirring from time to time, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Note: You can heat up another pan to cook the rest of the vegetables to expedite the cooking process.
  3. Add a little olive oil and chopped shallots to a pan. Cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  4. Add chopped shiitake mushrooms to the heated pan and 1 tbsp of soy sauce. Cook shiitake mushrooms with soy sauce until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.

  5. Combine all cooked ingredients: farro, sweet bell peppers, shallots, and shiitake mushrooms. Garnish with parsley.
