I've really been enjoying a grain called "Farro" recently. You boil it in salty water like pasta or rice. Trader Joe's has a "10 minute" version, but traditional farro takes around 30 minutes.

Once boiled, you can garnish it however you'd like. I make a sweet version with dried cranberries, butter, and Penzey's "Pie Spice". But you can also make savory versions with root vegetables or carrot medallions and chickpeas.

Can you format like mine so people can standardize :)

Thanks and Sorry and thanks, no obligation, might not work out but I wanna try for folks

I mean, it's not really a "recipe" per se.

You put water in a pot, add a little salt, boil it, add farro and continue boiling for 10 to 30 minutes depending on if you have the fast cook variety or the "normal" variety.

Once done, garnish to taste, you can really add whatever you'd like.

Flavor is nutty, like a grain, texture is more like rice.

America's Test Kitchen has a salad recipe with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and Tomatoes.

(they paywall their print recipes so the video is the best I can do here.)

1 1/2 cups rinsed whole grain farro
2 quarts boiling water
tablespoon of salt

Boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cook 20 minutes, strain.

Really, you don't need much else, like rice. Butter, salt, pepper, olive oil. Good eats.

They take it farther by adding 6 ounces each of asparagus, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes and feta.
