make this zucchini farro tonight and you’ll thank me later 💗

1 cup farro uncooked
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, halved lengthwise, cored, thinly sliced; fronds reserved for garnish
1 yellow onion, peeled, halved, and sliced into half-moons
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Pinch crushed red pepper to taste
2 small zucchini, about ¾ pound total; trimmed and cut into quarter-moons
3 ounces baby spinach, roughly chopped; plus a few leaves for garnish
20 basil leaves, roughly chopped
1 small lemon, juiced; about 2 tablespoons juice
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 teaspoon salt and the farro. Cook for 30 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse, then set aside.

As the farro cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients and set them aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel and onion and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 10–15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the fennel and onion begin to deepen in color.
Turn the heat to medium-low and continue sautéing for an additional 5–6 minutes until they reach a golden brown, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning them. Add more salt if needed, and then add garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper to taste.

Add another teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil if the pot is dry. Add the zucchini and cook for 8–10 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add the farro and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute.

Add the spinach, basil, and lemon juice. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the spinach wilts. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or crushed red pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.

Spoon the farro onto a large serving platter. Garnish with fennel fronds and more basil leaves. Enjoy!
