Farro With Grapes, Pineapple, And Raspberry-Glazed Almonds
I thought I'd put a twist on the usual Farro recipes and make my Farro With Grapes, Pineapple, and Raspberry-Glazed Almonds
Equipment
- 1 saucepan 6-quart
- 1 mesh sieve
- 1 chef's knife
- 1 cutting board
- 1 mixing bowl Large
- 1 measuring cup Liquid
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked Farro Rinsed and drained
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup *Agave nectar Light amber (liquid measure)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup green grapes Whole-seedless, then halved
- 1/4 cup dried cherries Chopped
- 1/4 cup dried apricots Chopped
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup raspberry-glazed almonds Chopped (nuts of your choice)
- 1/4 cup pineapple chunks (Dole pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice)
Instructions
- Place 1 1/2 cups of Farro in a mesh sieve, rinse and drain. In a saucepot on medium-high heat, add the 4 cups of water, kosher salt, and the *Agave nectar. Give that a good stir before adding in the drained Farro. Stirring occasionally to prevent the Farro from sticking together, bring the Farro up to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes. Pour the cooked Farro through a mesh sieve. Drain off any remaining liquid.Next, transfer the Farro into a large bowl. Add the other ingredients and toss to combine. The cold grapes and pineapple mixed with the warm Farro are so delicious.Ladle a good helping of Farro with Grapes, Pineapple, and Raspberry-glazed almonds into a porcelain serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.There you have it, my Farro with Grapes, Pineapple, and Raspberry-Glazed Almonds.

1) *Agave nectar: Agave is a natural sweetener that comes in dark or light amber.
