Farro salad

 Had left over farro and needed to figure out something else to do with it.  I researched and found a lot of salads that use these ingredients. It was like a yumm bowl, unusual but satisfying. I also think it lends itself to many substitutions so feel free! I suspect it might taste even better the following day...

I just constructed the salad without measurements so here it goes with approximate amounts: 


1-2 c cooked farro

handful of pistachios

handful of pomegranate arils (or golden raisins

1/2 c coconut milk

generous drizzle of olive oil

generous drizzle of lime juice

1 t pure maple syrup

1 T minced ginger

2 t sumac

2 t turmeric

2 t each parsley, mint and cilantro (unless you have these fresh - then about 1 T fresh chopped)

Combined it gently.

Salt and pepper to taste

And serve with a hard boiled egg sliced on top & fresh herbs, if you have them.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
