Faro Pilaf
Faro, the Italian word for "spelt," makes a delectable change from rice in this pilaf.
Serves: Serves: 3 to 4
Ingredients:
- 1 cup faro
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 small zucchini, cut into small dice
- Salt

- Remove from the heat and toss in the bowl with the faro.
- Add salt to taste. Grate on a little Pecorino Romano if you'd like.
