Farro salad with capers and beans
“Medieval Farro Salad” from A Culinary Traveler in Tuscany by Beth Elon http://www.bluebirdgrainfarms.com/medieval-farro-salad/ Overall: B This week I got curious and asked Google about “medieval Farro”. It suggested two recipes, this one (which calls itself “medieval” but offers no supporting evidence) and “Farro with 15th Century for Spelt Rice Porridge” (which looked promising until I realized that there was no…
Farro Salad with roasted carrots and onions
Farro Salad with roasted carrots and onions http://madbaker.livejournal.com/800777.html?hc_location=ufi Overall: B Last week when I posted about the Farro salad with raisins and Pistacios (https://www.facebook.com/nibuca/posts/10203933873646637) Jeremy Fletcher mentioned that he had a “Farro Tabbouleh” recipe he liked and suggested I might like to try it.

With a whole…
Wheat berry salad with feta
Wheat berry salad with feta http://www.myrecipes.com/m/recipe/wheat-berry-salad-with-goat-cheese Overall: B It’s yummy and I’d make it again but Fearghus wouldn’t like it (because it has big chunky tomatoes in it). Wheat berry salad with feta (because I had no goat cheese). Also because of the tomato and cucumber this ends up being a very wet salad. The leftovers did not keep well.
