Power Bowl: Farro Edition
Power bowls are my go-to for meals. Its simply a wholesome meal that you can mix and match to your preferences. Farro is one of my absolute favorite grains. I like the bite and the heartiness that it provides. It is the star of this power bowl.
I get my farro from Trader Joe's. It cooks quite fast because it is a pre-cooked package. You might need to account for a longer cooking time if you cook from dry.
If you have access to herbs, I find adding them in is a great way to boost the flavor profile of the dish. Since rosemary is the one plant thrives in the backyard, I decided to go with rosemary. I threw in the broccoli to add a pop of color and to sneak in more veggies.
I wrote this in the way that makes the most time sense to me. Please feel free to mix around the order if you have found a more efficient method. P.S. Dont forget to share it with me!
Power Bowl: Farro Edition
Serves 5
- 2 8.8oz packets of pre-cooked farro
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 1 crown broccoli
- 2 blocks tofu
- 3 tbsp flour
- Red chili flakes
- 1 crown cauliflower
- 1tsp chili powder
- 1 package of frozen fire roasted corn
Start by pressing the tofu between 2 plates, draining intermittently
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Cook the farro according to the directions on the package, drain
Fine chop the broccoli and rosemary, set aside
Wash and prep the cauliflower
In a bowl, toss with light coating of olive oil and chili powder
Spread the cauliflower onto a tray and bake for 20 mins
In a small pot, add fire roasted corn and 1 tbsp water and heat on low
In a pan, heat up 2 tsp oil, add the broccoli and rosemary and cook until fragrant, stir in the farro
In a dry bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes
Slice your tofu in half so you end up with two sheets of tofu, keep it stacked and then split into 4, cut each of the 4 rectangles in half diagonally so you end up with triangles. For reference, each block of tofu will yield 16 triangles
Coat each of the tofu pieces in the flour mixture
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan and wait until the oil sizzles when you drop a bit of flour into the pan
Place the tofu triangles into the pan and let each side cook until you obtain a nice crispy golden brown
Serve in a bowl with a bit of everything!
