Vegan Chimichurri Farro and Green Beans

Leave a Comment

Whoa. This is one tasty flipping dish! Fresh green beans and farro with a tangy dressing and walnuts. Chimichurri is a powerhouse of a sauce from Argentina made primarily as accompaniment for steak. The sauce is vinegary and the parsley and garlic are the key players. I saw the Badia brand jars at Target and nearly squealed aloud in the aisle. 

To make this one pan dish boil water with salt or vegetable bouillon, side note: I added mrs dash to the water also to replace my missing bouillon.) I admittedly don't measure the amount anymore but according to package it's 2-1 water and farro. Once the water is boiling add farro and reduce heat to medium.  After about 10 min of simmering I add the green beans, you don't need to stir them in since they basically steam on top. When the beans are bright green the farro should be tender. Drain the remaining water. 

In your pan add a handful of walnut pieces, and about a cup of the Chimichurri(depending on how much farro you are making.) I threw a bit of pepper on it to give it kick. 

Dang this was delicious and full pretty well balance dish with protein, fiber and greens!
