FARRO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND DILL



Farro and Green Bean Salad With Walnuts and Dill image

Farro is a perfect vehicle to showcase summer produce. With its nutty flavor and toothsome texture, the whole grain is a great counterbalance to snappy, sweet green beans. The farro cooks while you prepare the rest of the salad, allowing for an easy-to-assemble meal. Dill and walnuts, a nod to Middle Eastern flavors, are used in the gremolata, but pistachios and mint or hazelnuts and parsley would also work. Feta cheese or ricotta salata tossed in at the end would also be a nice addition. This hearty salad works well on its own, but would also be a fine companion to grilled fish or any other protein. Add the acid just before serving; it makes every ingredient sing.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup farro
Kosher salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup roughly chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (from about 1 shallot)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound green beans, trimmed
Black pepper
Lemon juice or white wine vinegar
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Add farro, 3 cups water and a pinch of kosher salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the farro is tender and toothsome, about 30 minutes.
  • While the farro cooks, make the gremolata: Toast the walnuts in a large (preferably 12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to ensure that they don't burn, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer toasted walnuts to a medium bowl. Add the dill, lemon zest and shallots and toss to coat. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet and heat the oil over medium. Add the green beans and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are crisp tender and start to brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water to help them along, if needed. Turn off the heat.
  • If there is any residual cooking liquid from the farro, drain it and add the farro directly to the skillet. Toss with the beans until well combined and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter and top with the gremolata. Drizzle with lemon juice or white wine vinegar to finish. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

Green Bean and Fava Bean Salad With Walnuts image

Skinning the fava beans for this summer salad does require a little effort, but you're left with a bright green, healthy salad. Walnuts, toast them or don't, add crunch and the dressing adds zing.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
1 1/4 pounds fava beans, shelled
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1/2 cup walnuts, lightly toasted if desired, coarsely chopped
1 small shallot, minced, rinsed with cold water and drained on a paper towel
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced or puréed (optional)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and add the green beans. Boil 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Transfer (use a skimmer so that you don't have to drain the pot) to a bowl of cold water, then drain and set aside.
  • Skin the favas. Bring the water in the pot back to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Drop the shelled fava beans into the boiling water and boil 2 to 3 minutes (5 minutes if the beans are bigger than your thumbnail). Drain and transfer immediately to the cold water. Allow the beans to cool for several minutes, then slip off their skins by pinching off the eye of the skin and squeezing gently. Hold several beans in one hand and use your other thumb and forefinger to pinch off the eyes; have a bowl for the shelled favas close at hand and this will not take a very long time.
  • Stir together the vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mustard, and garlic. Whisk in the oils. Toss with the green beans and favas, walnuts, tarragon and shallot in a salad bowl, and serve.

Green Bean and Walnut Salad (Mtsvani Lobios Pkhali) image
