Farro is one of my favourite grains – it’s nuttiness and texture makes it perfect for salads. The miso dressing gives this summer salad an extra layer of flavour and will keep you coming back for more. In the spring time, try using peas and asparagus instead.
Ingredients
- 150g Mount Zero Biodynamic Pearled Farro
- 2 cobs of corn, husk removed
- 2 tbsp Mount Zero Frantoio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 medium zucchini, around 400g, roughly sliced
- 50g pistachios, lightly toasted
- Large handful each of mint and parsley, roughly chopped
- 4 zucchini flowers, roughly torn (optional)
-
4 tbsp Yuzu Miso Dressing
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the farro until tender (around 20 minutes). Drain, set aside to cool and transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a chargrill pan or barbecue to high and grill the corn until tender and lightly charred, turning occasionally, around 10 minutes. Allow cooling then remove the kernels with a knife and add to the farro.
- Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and fry the zucchini until golden and tender, around 8 minutes. Season with sea salt and transfer to the corn and farro. Add in the pistachios, mint, parsley and zucchini flowers, if using.
Pour yuzu miso salad dressing over the salad and mix so that everything is well coated in the dressing and serve.
