Kevin Gillespie roasts cooked farro (a type of wheat) in a skillet to give the grain a sweet, toasty flavor and a pleasant chewiness.  Roasting cooked farro makes it taste almost like popcorn.

Ingredients

• 1. 3/4 cup farro
  2. 1 tablespoon tahini
  3. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  5. 2 packed cups baby turnip greens or spinach, chopped
  6. 1/2 cup parsley leaves
  7. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  8. Salt
  9. Pomegranate molasses, for drizzling (optional)

Directions

1. In a saucepan, cover the farro with water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over moderate heat until just tender, 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, until chilled.
2. In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of water with the tahini and olive oil.
3. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the farro in an even layer and cook over high heat, stirring once, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water and the greens and cook over moderate heat, stirring a few times, until the greens are just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the tahini mixture and remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt. Transfer the farro to a bowl, drizzle with pomegranate molasses and serve.
