Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro perlato rinsed
  • 4 small radishes cleaned, ends trimmed and thin-sliced
  • 1 large avocado cubed and spritzed with lime and salt
  • 1 large Cara Cara or blood orange peel and pith sliced off and cubed
  • 2 large limes juiced
  • 1 large Japanese sweet potato peeled and small diced
  • ¾ lb broccoli cleaned and cut into bite-sized florets
  • ½ can chipotle pepper in adobo sauce peppers chopped
  • 4 oz queso fresco crumbled
  • 1 large shallot peeled and minced
  • ½ tbsp agave or honey
  • 2 cups corn chips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F with a sheet pan on one of the racks. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Add the farro to the pot of boiling water and cook, uncovered, 15 to 25 minutes, or until tender. When done, turn off the heat, drain thoroughly and return to pot. Stir in ½ tbsp or so of lime juice and ½ tbsp of olive oil and about ½ tsp of salt plus some freshly ground pepper.
    1 cup farro perlato, 2 large limes, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp salt
  • While the farro cooks, toss the cubed sweet potato, broccoli florets and the chopped chipotle pepper and sauce, along with about 1½ tbsp of olive oil and ½ tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to the pre-heated sheet pan and shake or move around to arrange in a single, even layer. Roast 15 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender. Set aside.

  • While the vegetables roast, in a bowl, combine the sliced radishes, minced shallot, ½ tbsp agave and about 1 tbsp lime juice. (Use remaining lime juice on the farro or save.) Add ½ tsp salt and mix well. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.

  • Mix together the cooked farro, roasted vegetables, orange cubes and marinated radishes and shallot (including the liquid). Then gently add the avocado and crumbled cheese. Top with the corn chips when serving.
