Farro With Pistachios, Mixed Herbs, & Golden Raisins

Fresh, flavorful grain salad with a tangy twist

Ingredients

  • 2 cups farro
  • ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more
  • ½ cup pistachios
  • 1 ⅓ tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated peeled ginger
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ⅓ cup grapeseed oil or olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 serrano chile, sliced into rings
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped mixed fresh cilantro, mint, and parsley
  • ⅓ cup golden raisins

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rinse farro under cold water. Cook in a large pot of boiling salted water, skimming surface occasionally, until tender, 20–25 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.

Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger, sugar, and ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add oil. Whisk until emulsified; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

Drain farro and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl and add chile, herbs, raisins, and pistachios; toss to combine. Drizzle with vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
