@our_cookingjourney: I love legumes ❤️ 🫘 They're full of fibre and protein, they keep us full for longer and they are absolutely delicious. When I talk about the Sardinian diet I always come back to the role that these play in helping us live longer. So today, I jumped in the @Bold Bean Co kitchen to share this beautiful farro salad with garden vegetables and queen chickpeas from my new cookbook, Eat Like A Sardinian, Live to 100. This dish is very versatile, and you can make it your own by swapping out the ingredients depending on what is available to you and what the season offers. I love making a big batch as it’s a great dish to enjoy cold as well. Here are the ingredients 👇 And you can find the full written recipe on the Bold Bean website too. Serves 4 260g (9 1/2oz) farro or pot barley, washed 1 small aubergine (eggplant), chopped into small cubes 1 red bell pepper (capsicum), chopped into small chunks 1 courgette (zucchini), chopped into small cubes 300g (10 1/2oz) mixed yellow and red cherry tomatoes, halved 100g (3 1⁄2 oz) cooked chickpeas 20g (3/4 oz) basil, leaves torn 2 teaspoons dried oregano Extra virgin olive oil Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Crumbled fresh goat’s cheese to serve #healthyfood #happyfood #simplefood #beans #sardinia
