This unusual yet delicious combination of flavors makes a good substitute for traditional pasta salad at your next cookout. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked farro or wheat berries |
1 cup shelled green peas (about 3/4 pound unshelled) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup cubed seeded watermelon |
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shaved fresh pecorino romano cheese |
Directions:
1. Place farro in a large saucepan, and cover with water to 2 inches above farro. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 23 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
2. Add green peas to pan with farro, and cook for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse farro mixture with cold water; drain.
3. Combine farro mixture, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the watermelon cubes and 1 cup chopped parsley, and toss gently to combine. Top salad with Romano cheese.
