If you haven't tried farro yet, you need to go get some and try it right now. Farro is an ancient whole grain and while it does contain some gluten, it's typically broken down after a sprouting and fermentation process, similar to how gluten is broken down during the sourdough process. But there are many health benefits to reap when you swap out your typical grain, such as white rice, and replace it with farro, just as we've done in the recipe below.
In this dish, farro comes together with roasted carrots and chickpeas to make one dish that isn't only incredibly tasty, it's very healthy for you too. The carrots and farro are cooked separately but they call come together in the end and are finished with a light drizzle of vinegar to give it some tang while the feta that's sprinkled over top adds some welcome saltiness.
