Description
A savory and slightly sweet bowl featuring jerk-seasoned vegetables, farro, and maple-herb apples.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pearled farro
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup chopped sweet potato
- 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning
- 1 large apple, cored and diced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Cook farro: Combine farro and vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and farro is tender. Fluff with a fork.
- Prepare vegetables: While farro cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and sweet potato. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Season vegetables: Sprinkle jerk seasoning over the vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Prepare apples: In a small bowl, toss the diced apple with maple syrup and dried thyme and rosemary.
- Combine: Add the seasoned apples to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes until apples are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
- Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked farro among serving bowls. Top with the jerk vegetable and apple mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- You can substitute farro with quinoa or brown rice if needed.
- Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning based on your preference for heat.
