Servings: 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup dry farro
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 cups broccoli, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 4 cups chopped kale (or any leafy green)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (more if desired!)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup edamame, cooked and shelled
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1 cup carrot, shredded (about 1 medium-sized carrot)
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium-sized pot, add dry farro to 1 cup of boiling water and stir. Simmer on medium-low heat until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the farro.
  2. While farro is cooking, heat the oven to 425 F. Chop the broccoli into 1-inch uniform florets. In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli with the oil, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds, and mix well. In a large roasting pan lined with parchment paper or cooking spray, spread out the broccoli mixture. Bake until well browned, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. In a dry pan (or coated with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of olive or avocado oil), sauté the kale or other greens on medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked. (Skip this step if you prefer raw greens.)
  4. In a small bowl, mix the peanut or almond butter, rice vinegar, reduced-sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, Sriracha sauce, and water. This dressing can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  5. Assemble the bowl in layers: Spoon the grains in first; then add greens; top with roasted broccoli, shredded carrots, shelled edamame, and chopped celery; and then sprinkle on the roasted peanuts. Drizzle with dressing.
