This was my dinner last night, and too good not to share!
It includes…
Coconut oil, 2 tablespoons
Red onions, 4 small, peeled and roughly chopped
Garlic, 4 large cloves, peel and roughly chopped
Sprouts, a couple of handfuls, outer leaves removed, and quartered
Shawarma spice mix, a couple of tablespoons (you can find details in this post)
Farro, half a cup, cooked my way
Pine nuts, a little handful
Dried barberries, a little handful
Tahini, as much as you want!
I cooked it pretty much as I’ve written the list above:
I heated the coconut oil in a wide pan and started by cooking the onions over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes; I then added the garlic and sprouts and cooked them for a few minutes, before adding the spice mix. I cooked it for a few minutes, adding a splash of water as necessary to stop the spices from burning, before adding the farro and pine nuts. Once it was all warm enough and the sprouts were cooked sufficiently, I served myself half of the panful, topped with dried barberries and drizzled with tahini..
The collection of ingredients worked so well together, the farro added a lovely chew and the pine nuts added a nice crunch, and of course the tahini added the perfect finish!
Sprouts need never be boring! Enjoy!
