Farro with Roasted Asparagus & Sundried Tomatoes

Cultural Context

Farro, an ancient grain originating from the Mediterranean, has been a staple in Italian cuisine for centuries. This dish reflects the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on whole grains, seasonal vegetables, and healthy fats. Roasting asparagus enhances its natural sweetness, while sundried tomatoes add a rich, tangy flavor. As farro gains popularity in the U.S., this dish showcases its versatility and health benefits, making it a favorite for both weeknight dinners and meal prep.
