Instructions
1
Rinse the farro under cold water and drain well.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the farro with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes until tender but still chewy. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
3
While the farro cooks, scrub the sunchokes and cut them into 1-2 cm cubes. No need to peel if the skins are thin and clean.
4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
5
Add the sunchoke cubes to the skillet with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
6
Stir in the chopped kale and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
7
Add the cooked farro to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice for a quick drizzle.
9
Divide the farro and sunchoke mixture between two bowls. Top with the yogurt drizzle, toasted walnuts, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve warm.

FAQ
What are sunchokes?
Sunchokes, also called Jerusalem artichokes, are knobby root vegetables with a mild, nutty flavor. They naturally contain inulin, a prebiotic fiber.
Do I need to peel the sunchokes?
No. Scrub them well and leave the skin on if it is thin and clean. Peel them if the skin is tough or damaged.
Is this breakfast bowl gluten-free?
No. Farro is a wheat grain and contains gluten. Use a certified gluten-free grain, such as quinoa or buckwheat, if needed.
How long does the farro take to cook?
Farro usually takes about 25–30 minutes to simmer until tender but still chewy. Cooking time can vary by type.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes. Replace the Greek yogurt with an unsweetened plant-based yogurt or a lemony tahini sauce.
Can sunchokes cause digestive discomfort?
They can cause gas or bloating in some people because they contain inulin. Start with a small portion if you are not used to them.
Can I prepare this bowl ahead of time?
Yes. Cook the farro and vegetables ahead, refrigerate them promptly, and reheat thoroughly. Add the yogurt, walnuts, and herbs just before serving.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and use them within 2–3 days. Keep the yogurt drizzle separate when possible.
