Ingredients

FROM THE MARKET:

2 sweet onions, thinly sliced

1 lb asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

¼ c chopped parsley



IN YOUR KITCHEN:

¼ c olive oil

1 ½ c farro

1 TBS red wine vinegar

2 pinches red pepper flakes

Preparation

STEP 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 25 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more.

While the onions cook, cook the farro in a pot of boiling water along with 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes; drain well.


STEP 3

Add the farro and asparagus to the caramelized onions along with the parsley, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
