Ingredients:
Serves 4 to 6

For the pilaf
1 cup farro
1 cup lentils
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
Extra virgin olive oil

For the salad
2 medium tomatoes
2 medium cucumbers 
1 large sweet pepper
1 small onion
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Directions:

To make pilaf
1. Put farro, 4 cups water, and salt in a medium or large pot. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender but still chewy – about 40 minutes.

2. Once farro is on the stove, rinse and sort the lentils. Put in a separate pot with bay leaf and water to cover by about an inch. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender – about 30 minutes.

3. When farro and lentils are done cooking, drain any excess water. Remove bay leaf from lentils. Combine farro and lentils into one pot, tossing with a little olive oil.

To make salad
1. Make the dressing and salad while the farro and lentils are cooking. In a large bowl, whisk olive oil into lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste. Chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and onions into bite-size pieces. Add to the bowl with the oregano and toss to coat with dressing.

2. To serve, plate the pilaf and then top with the salad. The contrast of warm grains and beans and refreshing salad makes this a particularly good seasonal transition meal, but the dish can also be refrigerated for up to a day and served cold.
