PREPARATION FOR MAPLE DIJON BRUSSELS & FARRO BOWL

  • Cook The Farro: Rinse the farro under cold water to remove excess starch. In a pot, bring 150ml of water to a boil, add the farro and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and let it cool slightly.
  • Roast The Brussels Sprouts: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Prepare The Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
  • Assemble The Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked farro at the base. Add the roasted Brussels sprouts on top.
  • Drizzle The Dressing: Pour the maple dijon dressing evenly over the bowl.
  • Garnish And Serve: Sprinkle with sunflower seeds for added crunch. Mix gently before eating or serve as is.

TIPS FOR MAPLE DIJON BRUSSELS & FARRO BOWL

  • Crispier Brussels Sprouts: Roast them at a high temperature and ensure they are spaced out on the baking sheet for even browning.
  • Enhanced Flavour: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving for extra tanginess.
  • Faster Preparation: Use pre-cooked farro or Brussels sprouts to cut down on cooking time.
  • Make It A Meal: Add grilled tofu, chickpeas, or shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • Storage Tip: Store the dressing separately to keep the dish fresh when meal prepping.

VARIATIONS IN MAPLE DIJON BRUSSELS & FARRO BOWL

  • Gluten-Free Version: Substitute farro with quinoa or brown rice.
  • Nutty Twist: Swap sunflower seeds for toasted almonds or pecans for more crunch.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
  • Cheesy Addition: Sprinkle with crumbled feta or goat cheese for a creamy touch.
  • Extra Greens: Toss in baby spinach or kale for more nutrients.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Meal Prep: Cook farro and roast Brussels sprouts in advance, then assemble when ready to eat.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or enjoy cold as a grain salad.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as Brussels sprouts can become mushy when thawed.
