  • Pour water into a saucepan, bring it to a boil, then add the farro and cook for about 20 minutes. When it's done, drain off the water, cover the farro, and keep it warm. Peel the garlic and slice it thin. Wash the corn salad leaves and slice them thinly. Heat one portion of the olive oil in a skillet, add the garlic, and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add the greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes. Pour in a little water and braise for about 4 minutes, until the liquid evaporates and the greens are very tender. Spread the rice flour on a large plate and season lightly with salt and pepper. Pat the barramundi fillets dry with paper towels, dredge them in the flour, and pan-fry in another portion of olive oil for about 4–6 minutes on one side and 3 minutes on the other. Coarsely chop the toasted almonds; wash the grapes and pull the berries off their stems. In the remaining oil, sauté the chopped almonds, grapes, and thyme sprigs for 2 minutes — the grapes should soften. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, carefully discard the thyme sprigs, and add the juice of half a lemon. Add the braised greens to the pot of farro, then stir in the almonds and grapes, drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon half, and toss. Divide among plates, top each with a piece of barramundi fillet, and serve. Enjoy!
