Time 13h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups farro
¾ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 cup red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
¾ cup chopped walnuts
¾ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette, or to taste
1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Soak farro in a large bowl of water for at least 12 hours. Drain.

Reduce heat to medium, then cook the farro uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue simmering until tender, about 30 more minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus, and cook uncovered until tender, about 3 minutes.
