Mushroom, Kale & Farro Stir-Fry with Dill

Mushrooms are one of my favorite veggies! Its super easy to cook, goes with almost any dish and  its packed Vitamin D. Mushrooms are also great for the immune system so I typically load my winter/fall wishes with mushrooms any chance I get to gear up for cold and flu season, but I could basically eat mushrooms year round because I am such a fan.  

I came up with this dish last year when I got some fresh dill from my friend's garden so I went crazy with the dill in this dish, but its so tasty! 

Mushroom & Farro Stir Fry with Chard, Peppers and Dill

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 of farro
• 2 cups shiitake mushrooms
• 1/2 peppers (any color) 
• 1/2 green beans
• 1 1/2 cups Kale (or Chard)
• 1/2 onion
• 1 Clove garlic 
• 1/2 cup of dill (You could use less but I like it very dilly :) 
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring medium pot to a boil at pinch of salt to the water. 
2. Add farro, boil 10-15 minutes.
3. Simmer for last 4 minutes on low heat. 
4. TIP: to make the farro light and fluffy I put a paper towel underneath the lid for the last minutes. This is great for all grains and rice! This paper towel absorbs the extra moisture evenly. 
5. Set aside to cool.
6. In a medium to large pan, sauté onions, garlic and peppers. 
7. Add mushrooms, sauté for 2 minutes. 
8. Toss in farro and mix in  3/4 of the dill, mix till  fully incorporated. 
9. Reduce  to low heat, add chard. I add greens at the end so that the greens arent over cooked.  
10. Cool for 5-10 minutes, add extra dill on top before serving

Enjoy!
