Cooking Steps

Cook farro
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add farro, broth concentrate and 3 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered until farro is tender, 14-16 min. When farro is done, drain and set aside.

Prep
2

Meanwhile, strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) off stems. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl). Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Rinse halloumi under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. (TIP: This will reduce the saltiness of the cheese.)

Cook halloumi and almonds
3

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the almonds so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate. Add halloumi to the same pan. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl.)Pan-fry until golden-brown, 1-3 min per side. Transfer halloumi to the plate with the almonds and set aside.

Cook veggies
4

Add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, peppers and thyme to the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp, 4-5 min.

Assemble salad
5

Meanwhile, whisk together Dijon, vinegar, 1 tbsp fig spread and 2 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add farro, veggies, spinach and half the almonds. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Finish and serve
6

Divide farro salad between plates. Top with halloumi. Sprinkle with remaining almonds. Spoon remaining fig spread over top, if desired.
