Spelt (also called farro) is a high-protein grain with a mellow nutty flavor, and it provides an alternative to bulgur for those who have wheat allergies. (Bulgur is a good substitute if you do not have spelt for this dish.) It's nice chilled or at room temperature. Include a cluster of red grapes and crusty Italian bread in your bag. Spelt Salad with White Beans and Artichokes is a delicious dish that you will make again and again. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups uncooked spelt (farro), rinsed and drained |
2 1/2 cups water |
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint |
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 cup minced red onion |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine spelt and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until tender and liquid is absorbed.
2. Combine cooked spelt, mint, and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
