Ingredients

  • 200g pearled farro
  • 2 medium fennel bulbs, fronds reserved
  • 3 medium navel oranges
  • 75g whole almonds
  • 60ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 50g rocket leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, torn
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

Rinse farro under cold water, then add to a pot with 750ml salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender but still chewy. Drain any excess water and spread on a baking tray to cool.

2

Toast almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, shaking frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat, let cool, then roughly chop.

3

Trim fennel bulbs, remove tough outer layers, and cut in half. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, shave fennel very thinly into a bowl of cold water to keep crisp.

4

Supreme the oranges by cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing away the peel and pith. Cut between the membranes to release segments into a bowl, squeezing remaining juice from membranes into a separate small bowl.

5

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons reserved orange juice, honey, minced shallot, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

6

Drain the shaved fennel and pat dry with a clean tea towel.

7

In a large serving bowl, combine cooled farro, shaved fennel, rocket leaves, and half the dressing. Toss gently to combine.

8

Top with orange segments, toasted almonds, torn mint leaves, and reserved fennel fronds. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top and serve immediately.
