2 tablespoons olive oil

1 bunch rainbow chard -- roughly chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar

Bring 4 cups of water and the farro to a boil in a medium saucepan over
high heat. Reduce to low and simmer until tender, stirring occasionally,
about 25 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, saute the shallot, carrot, celery, and garlic in olive oil
until the shallots are transparent. add the parsley and chard and saute
until they start to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir
in the farro.

Drizzle with the vinegar. Serve hot or at room temperature.

AuthorNote: The chewy texture of the farro contrasts with the more
delicate tastes of the chard and fresh herbs.

Farro is an ancient grain that is said to be the "mother" of all wheat. It
has a nutty flavor and has been popular in Italy since the time when it
sustained the Roman legions. Now it is commonly used as an alternative to
pasta or rice.
