Farro with Pumpkin and Almonds

An interesting, out-of-the-ordinary Italian-style side! Farro with pumpkin and almonds is a bold partner for any main course. It's a genuinely good-for-you dish, too — high in fiber and a solid source of iron and protein.

    1. Pour the vegetable broth (reserving a little, about 50 ml) and the water into a saucepan, then bring to a boil. Add the farro to the boiling liquid, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 25–30 minutes, until the farro is tender, then drain. 2. Peel the onion and carrots and chop them coarsely along with the celery. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, then add the carrots, onion, celery, and the peeled, diced pumpkin. Cook covered until everything is tender. 3. Stir the farro and fresh thyme into the vegetables, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and add the chopped parsley and the toasted, chopped almonds. Drizzle with the reserved vegetable broth and serve. Enjoy!
