Preparation

How to prepare Farro salad with primosale cheese, blackberries, and anchovies

To prepare the farro salad with primosale cheese, blackberries, and anchovies, bring salted water to a boil 1 and cook the farro for the time indicated on the package; we used pearled farro which cooks in about 20 minutes 2. Slice the primosale cheese 3.

From these slices, cut cubes 4 and set aside. Wash and halve the blackberries 5, then chop the chives 6.

Once cooked, drain the farro 7 and transfer it to a tray to cool 8. In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the chives and oil 9.

Add the primosale cheese 14 and blackberries 15, then gently mix 16.

The farro salad is ready 17: plate it, finishing with 3 anchovy fillets 18 and fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your farro salad with primosale cheese, blackberries, and anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the farro salad with primosale cheese, blackberries, and anchovies immediately.

Tip

If you use a different type of farro than pearled, such as whole-grain (hulled) or semi-pearled farro, the cooking times will increase significantly. Whole-grain farro requires soaking for 6–8 hours and cooking for about 50–60 minutes, while semi-pearled cooks in 30–35 minutes and can be soaked to reduce the cooking time.
