Method

  1. Cook farro according to package directions (about 10 min for quick-cook).
  2. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, and paprika. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes.
  3. Whisk tahini with lemon juice, garlic, and water until smooth and pourable.
  4. Assemble bowls: farro base, topped with chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and crumbled feta.
  5. Drizzle generously with tahini dressing and finish with fresh herbs.

Timing

Allow roughly 5 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
