Farro and Veggies

The California fires have colored the air brown. It's hard to breathe or even think.  The kids ate burgers out of the freezer, and suddenly the day was over.  With only half an hour to spare before my husband got home, I realized there's nothing to cook!  I found a bag of farro in the pantry and a bag of frozen mixed veggies in the freezer.  

Boil 4 cups of water and add a teaspoon of salt.  Stir in 3/4 cup farro, reduce to a simmer and cook for 40-45 minutes to desired tenderness.  If the water boils off before the farro is cooked, simply add a bit more.  Add frozen veggies, seasoning, cover and cook until veggies are hot.

I made two eggs, medium over and served on top of a mound of farro with veggies.  The runny yolks yummified the whole thing beyond belief.  Cracked pepper just took it over the top.
