Mediterranean

Our chefs swapped the classic rice-based bowl for protein- and fiber-rich farro. Once tender, it’s mixed with olive oil and dill, then topped with sautéed shawarma-spiced chicken and sweet bell pepper, plus tangy pickled shallot and juicy herbaceous marinated tomatoes. With a drizzle of creamy chimichurri, it’s bye-bye boring bowl—hello, farro!

Preparation
1
Cook Farro

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • In a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings), combine farro, 3 cups water (6 cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until farro is tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: If you end up with any excess water, simply pour it out. Alternatively, if water evaporates before farro is done, add a splash of water.

2
Prep

  • While farro cooks, halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Halve tomatoes lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.  Roughly chop dill.

3
Pickle Shallot & Marinate Tomatoes

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine shallot, vinegar, 1 TBSP water, ½ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (2 TBSP water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings); cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 30-45 seconds. Stir and set aside to pickle.

  • In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, half the Zaatar Spice (all for 4), a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate.

4
Make Sauce

  • In a second small bowl, combine yogurthalf the chimichurri, and half the cumin (all the chimichurri and all the cumin for 4 servings).

5

  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, bell pepper, Shawarma Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Once farro is done, transfer to a large bowl and combine with half the dill, a drizzle of olive oilsalt, and pepper.

  • Divide farro between shallow bowls; top with chicken and bell pepper, marinated tomatoes, and pickled shallot (draining first). Drizzle chicken with sauce and garnish with remaining dill.
