Grilled Asparagus, Zucchini Spears & Sweet White Onion w Basil and Mushroom Farro

Grilled Asparagus, Zucchini Spears & Sweet White Onion w Basil and Mushroom Farro

What You Will Need:

Bunch of Asparagus

One Large Yellow Zucchini Squash- cleaned, cut in half and then cut into 1/4 spears

One Sweet White Onion- skin off, halved

1/2 Cup Chopped Fresh Basil

1 Cup Farro

1/2 Cup clean, chopped fresh mushrooms (I’m using cremini)

1 Clove of Garlic- Crushed

3 green onions- chopped- white and green separated

4 Tablespoons EVOO-

1 Cup Vegetable Broth

Salt & Pepp to taste

Whatcha Do:

1. Toss Asparagus, Crushed Garlic, and Zucchini Spears with 1 1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil and some Salt and Pepper.  Add your Onion halves to the bowl and then let them hang out with those veggies and get a lil’ oily and salt and peppery.  Set em’ aside, yep that’s it.
2. Bring broth to a slow boil in the pan, adding in Farrow, Chopped Mushies & Onion Whites.  Cook for 10- 40 Minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.  (Kinda depends on what you buy- there are some “quick cooks” available)
3. While that is getting all happy and cozy in your pan, take your veggies outside and grill them (on the grate or on a grill pan) until the Asparagus are bright green- or really, until they are done to your liking! Bring those babes inside and get em’ on the plate.   You can do these first and serve them room temp or you can wait until the farrow is basically done and then have some hot veggies.
4. When your Farrow is done- Fluff it out with a fork, and then toss with remaining Oil and Fresh Chopped Basil.
5. As Always, a little Fresh Squeezed Lemon and Fresh Parmesan are optional. =)
6. Plate the rest of this Goodness & Enjoy!
