Farro!

I was up in Marin County on an incredibly warm Sunday, and picked up a "farro and fava bean salad" at the A.G. Ferrari market in Corte Madera. It was an incredibly simple and refreshing lunch, perfectly suited for the weather. One bite and I knew I wanted to make it for dinner.

I picked up farro and fava beans at Molly Stone's in nearby Sausalito and googled "farro fava salad." I coincidentally came across a recipe posted by Albion, a Marin blogger who had eaten the very same thing from the very same store and posted a modified recipe on her blog, "Albion Cooks," 2 years ago.

I made my own modifications to it by adding feta cheese and diced mint leaves, and served it with grilled salmon and sautéed kabocha. I packed the leftovers in my daughter's bento the next day.

Delicioso! And a big thank you to Ms. Albion for sharing the recipe.

イタリア食材のお店のA.G.Ferrariで買ってみた「ファーロー（スペルト麦）とそら豆のサラダ）。先週末は特に暖かく、サッパリして美味しかったので早速自分でつくって見よう思った。なんとgoogleで検索したら同じ店で同じものを食べたAlbionさんのブロッグにレシピがポストされてある。偶然にそばに住んでるらしい。

早速つくってみたら、グー！ちょっと材料を変えてフェタ・チーズと刻んだミントの葉を加え、焼きジャケとかぼちゃのオリーブ油ソテーとよそったら、みんな喜んで食べてくれた＾＾夏のディナーにぴったり。残りは次の日、娘の弁当に。
