Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro, rinsed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, cook the farro according to the package instructions. Drain any excess water and set aside.
- While the farro is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To poach the eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar and create a gentle whirlpool in the water. Carefully crack the eggs into separate small bowls, then gently slide them into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked farro, sautéed spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Divide the farro mixture between two bowls. Top each bowl with a poached egg. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an additional pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Helpful Tips:
- Experiment with different veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, or avocados to add more variety to your power bowl.
- For a quicker option, use pre-cooked farro available at most grocery stores.
- If you’re new to poaching eggs, consider starting with an egg poacher to achieve perfect results every time.
- Make the farro mixture ahead of time and simply assemble the bowls with freshly-poached eggs when you’re ready to eat.
Storage Instructions:
- Store any leftover farro mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Pairings:
- Enjoy with a side of whole-grain toast or fresh fruit to make it a complete meal.
- Pair with a refreshing glass of orange juice or a soothing cup of green tea.
