Farro, beets & greens! Farro is a hearty, chewy grain kind of like wheatberries. Instead of throwing those beet greens out, chop them finely and add them in - they are kind of like kale. Dress lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper (or any dressing, really) and eat warm or at room temperature. This dish is great for a picnic!

- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 beets (greens, too!)

- 1 cup farro
- 3 cups water
Method
- Chop and sauté garlic, beets, onion with olive oil.
- Cook farro similar to rice (absorption method)
- Toss cooked farro with veggies, dress with olive oil, salt & pepper. Serve hot or cold.
