If you want to make a fresh dish for the table during a summer lunch, opt for this farro salad enriched with sliced tomatoes. It is a simple recipe to make and is usually enjoyed by all.
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 4 large tomatoes
- A few leaves of basil
- A bunch of chives
- Extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Thoroughly wash the tomatoes and, after dividing in half with a sharp knife, cut into slices not too thin. Salt them lightly and leave it at least for about ten minutes inside a colander or, alternatively, over a grid. In this way lose much of the vegetation water contained in the pulp.
When you buy tomatoes to prepare this dish, choose those that have completely red but still firm flesh.
Fill a pot with cold water and put it on the stove over high heat. When just begins to boil, add salt and pour in the farro previously washed.
After about twenty or twenty-five minutes it will be cooked to perfection. Drain and quick wash with the tap water.
Put the boiled farro in a bowl, add the sliced tomatoes and chopped chives with a knife. Salad seasoned with a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper and a few tablespoons of good quality oil. Mix everything and remember to decorate the plate with a few leaves of fresh basil before bringing it to the table.
