Servings: 4

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

8 ounces (250 gr) farro or spelt

parmesan shaved into ribbons

1 pomegranate

1 small head of radicchio sliced thinly

salt and pepper

1 truffle mushroom

2-3 tablespoons (30ml) vinegar

4 ounces (100gr) toasted walnuts

Equipment:

peeler

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. In plenty of cold water boil farro until al dente (cooked but with a bite) - about 20-35 minutes. Feel free to add some vegetable scraps if available (unused piece of carrot, onion, celery, etc.)
  2. Drain the farro in a colander & remove vegetable scraps if used. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  3. In a large separate bowl combine the farro with radicchio, nuts & pomegranate seeds. Give it a good mix and season with salt & pepper.
  4. For the dressing: Drizzle over the salad a couple tablespoons of vinegar followed by three times the amount of extra virgin olive oil.
  5. Give it another good mix.
  6. To finish, give it a good shave of fresh truffles, if not available truffle salt or oil works well too. Top with a few pulls of a potato peeler across a wedge of parmesan.
  7. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes up to a day - it needs a little time for it to all come together.
  8. Before serving - give it one last good stir, taste & adjust the seasoning - making sure the dressing is balanced (not too vinegary or oily).

Food Joke

Reminiscing Ruth, Hetty and Naomi, all three in their 80s, are sitting together in their retirement home reminiscing about the good old days. Ruth says, "I remember when I used to be able to buy lovely big cucumbers at the greengrocers for no more than 1p each. They were giants , not like the little cucumbers on sale today." Hetty then says, "Well I remember the giant onions I used to be able to buy for ½ p each. Every week, I always bought two of them (and she demonstrates the size of the two onions with her hands as she talks) for my chicken soup." Naomi, who has been sitting quietly listening to Ruth and Hetty, then says, "I couldn’t hear a word either of you were saying, but I remember the guy you were talking about."
