Tonight for dinner: One pan farro with tomatoes

You can use any grain; I used barley because it was in the pantry. This recipe showed up just in time to salvage the end of the Costco-sized box of grape tomatoes. didn’t matter that they were getting wrinkly!

I put a poached egg on top.

It doesn’t need as much salt as in the recipe; 1/2 tsp would be plenty. But it was delicious, sprinkled with shredded parmesan.

I’ve never cooked with grains like Farro. This recipe looks like a great way to get started!

I have used farro as the foundation of a “grain bowl” and it was terrific. It had more ingredients plus a dressing. A great healthful dish.

I think I’ll make this again tomorrow (Friday) because it’s time for a grocery run and I don’t feel like it! i still have some wrinkly tomatoes, and I can throw in the bit of baby spinach that needs to get used up, at the end of cooking. Just so it wilts a bit.

I’ll use the rest of the barley, but I’d love to try some farro.

That farro recipe looks great.

I love the one pan kinds of meals. We had a NYT sausage and pasta recipe last night. Couple of Italian sausages (I used turkey sausages), crushed tomatoes, pasta, spices, and water. Break up the sausages into pan and brown. Add 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes, cup of water, spices (they used a little cumin and some crushed red pepper - I think Italian spices would be great), and 8 ounces of uncooked pasta. Bring to boil, then simmer until the pasta is cooked. Add spinach (or in my case, Power Greens), cook for a few minutes, et voila! Dinner...

NYT recipe, sorry if you can't get to it: https://cooking.nytimes.com/re...-sausage-and-spinach

(I had to add more water because the pasta wasn't cooked and the sauce was too thick. I used campanelle; I think the cavatappi called for in the recipe is a better choice).

Also this bunch of quick prep recipes, also NYT. This one was via Pocket, so maybe it's not behind the paywall:

I made this Raw Asparagus Salad last night. Utterly delicious with grilled wahoo. Even better for lunch today.

It's from Six Seasons by Josh McFadden. My daughter got me a signed copy for Christmas. Great reference for cooking seasonal, mostly vegetable dishes.

Whenever I have made shortbread (which is many, many times. I even made it as favours for my first wedding.) I have used only 4 ingredients: caster sugar (or regular sugar pulsed in the food processor so it’s very fine), flour, butter, and salt. I can’t believe the posted recipe doesn’t use salt, and I am sceptical about the need for both semolina and the “extra crunch” of Demerara sugar.

Apparently I’m getting old and grouchy.

Do you think this recipe would work with pine nuts rather than walnuts? I’m allergic but the salad sounds delicious!

Shortbread

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar (I use caster sugar when I can get it or pulse it in the food processor, but I have also skipped that step when I’m feeling particularly lazy - I have never compared side by side so don’t really know how much difference it makes)
2 sticks salted butter, softened (if you use unsalted, be sure to add a good pinch of salt)

Heat oven to 375º F

Mix all the ingredients together by hand with a fork or in a mixer. Don't overwork the dough - stop when it just comes together

Pan: Roll into the shape of the pan you want to bake them in. 8 x 8 works. Trim the edges to the approximate size. It should be about 3/4” or so thick. If you want, cut it into fingers. Prick the shortbread with a fork, about half way through.

Round: You can also shape the dough into a ball, roll it out into a round, and score into triangles, then prick with a fork.

Mould: I use a mould. Brush with a little butter and then sugar, which helps it come out nicely. Roll the dough, put it on the mould, and then roll again to press it in. Turn it out onto a tray. I have a terracotta mould so I bake it right inside the mould and turn it out after baking.

Place in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until slightly brown on edges. If you wish, sprinkle with sugar immediately upon removing from the oven. Shortbread shouldn't be darkly colored. Let your shortbread cool a bit on or in the pan before moving to rack.

In setting up a book event in our town, I found our local English Learning History teacher at the HS has published a cookbook featuring her immigrant students' family recipes (and stories)..I have ordered this year's book and plan to try out some recipes from it!
