Greekgrainsalad Recipes

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat wheat berries and water to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 1 hour or until tender.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat lemon juice, pepperoncini liquid, vinegar, oil, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic with whisk. Add cucumber, tomatoes, olives, pepperoncini peppers and onion; toss gently to combine. Set aside until wheat berries are cooked.
• Drain wheat berries, and wash under cold water until cool. Drain until dry; add to salad mixture. Toss well. Divide among 6 serving plates; top with cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the farro with 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes, adding more water if needed. Drain and pour into a large bowl.
• Place the red pepper slices on the prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through. Set the peppers aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Pour over the hot farro, stir well and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• Add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley and olives and roasted peppers to the bowl with the farro. Stir until combined, then gently fold in the feta. Serve at room temperature, or store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days, before serving.

Steps:

• Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the barley and cook for 15 minutes. Using a sieve, remove barley from the water and transfer to a bowl.
• Bring the water back to a boil and salt, to taste. Add the barley and rye and wheat berries and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, transfer to a bowl, and cool.
• When cool, combine with the remaining ingredients.
• Meanwhile, make the Dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, dill, and garlic. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.

Steps:

• Dice up the vegetables- I usually use a small red onion as I don't like it to overpower the salad. You can adjust the vegetables to your tastes.
• Place the vegetables in a bowl along with the olives and feta cheese.
• Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and pour over the vegetables.
• Usually I let everything sit and marinate in the fridge for approximately 1/2 an hour. This seems to marry the flavours! I like to serve it in a clear serving bowl as the colours are so fresh and appealing.

Steps:

• Rinse farro with water; drain. Place farro in a pot; pour in chicken broth to cover farro by at least one inch, adding water if needed. Stir in 1 teaspoon olive oil and sea salt.
• Bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until tender, about 35 minutes for whole grain farro or about 20 minutes for pearled farro.
• Drain farro, rinse with cold water, and set aside to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Greek seasoning, and garlic together in a large bowl. Stir in tomato, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, and feta cheese. Stir farro into tomato mixture until completely coated with dressing; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate salad for about 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Place 4 large vine tomatoes, cut into wedges, 1 peeled, deseeded and chopped cucumber, ½ a thinly sliced red onion, 16 Kalamata olives, 1 tsp dried oregano, 85g feta cheese chunks and 4 tbsp Greek extra virgin olive oil in a large bowl.
• Lightly season, then serve with crusty bread to mop up all of the juices.
