“Every princess needs her protein”, and that’s all I needed to say. My girls (and us adults) love eating this plant based, protein rich dish, and ask for it regularly. Farro is a middle eastern grain, rich in protein, fiber, iron, and some calcium. Peas also provide protein and fiber, but additionally contain Vitamin A and C, calcium, and iron. What’s not to love? With just 3 ingredients (4 if you add parmesan), this is a quick, easy, and very inexpensive side dish. Many times, I’ll use this as the main part of my meal, and fill in the sides with roasted or stir fried veggies.
A protein rich, plant based dish that everyone will love. Great as a main dish, or as a side to stir fry's, stews, or an alternative to rice.
