End of Summer Replay… and Farro with Grilled Peaches and Haloumi

I've been culling a smattering of random photos, collected over the course of this long, hot summer. No better time than now to post them up with Labor Day and fall weather quickly approaching. Here's a look back at some highlights of the past few months and a very memorable farro recipe that will most definitely be reappearing on my table next summer.

Farro Salad with Grilled Peaches, Mint, Basil and Haloumi

Serves :: 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups farro

2 peaches, halved and pitted

4 ounces haloumi cheese (or feta)

3 small yellow or red beets, boiled or roasted, peeled and diced

4-5 scallions, thinly sliced

1 small bunch purslane, roughly chopped *(leave out if desired)

1/4 cup torn mint leaves

1/4 cup basil, chiffonade

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

juice of 1/2 lemon

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

sumac for sprinkling*

*sumac is a Middle Eastern spice that has a tart, lemony flavor and can be found at specialty markets or http://kalustyans.com/

*purslane is technically a weed, but is entirely edible, is high in omega-3 fats, and is commonly used in salads in Greece and Turkey

Directions

In a medium saucepan cover farro with salted water and lightly boil for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain and allow to cool.

Brush peaches and haloumi cheese with olive oil and place on a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until peaches are soft. Dice both peaches and haloumi once cool.

Toss farro, peaches, haloumi and all remaining ingredients together in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle sumac over top and serve.

These are all good foods with so many healthy benefits. All these recipes I believed had helped so many avid readers of yours like me. For me, diet is not about starving yourself. It is about living a healthy lifestyle with help of some diet safe pills like phen375 that could greatly contributes in slimming down. Keep up the good work here and don’t stop inspiring others.
