Both the wild rice and the farro can be cooked a day in advance; let them cool separately on baking sheets, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before dressing.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 Servings

Ingredients

4

sprigs thyme, divided

4

cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided

Kosher salt

1

cup wild rice

1

cup farro

4

tangerines or 2 oranges

¼

cup vegetable oil

Freshly ground black pepper

4

scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring 2 thyme sprigs, 2 cups broth, and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add a pinch of salt, then rice; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 40–45 minutes. Remove thyme and let cool. Drain, if needed.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook farro in another medium saucepan, using remaining 2 thyme sprigs, 2 cups broth, and 1½ cups water and cooking 35–40 minutes.

    Step 3

    Using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from tangerines; discard. Working over a large bowl, cut between membranes to release segments, placing segments in a small bowl. Squeeze juice from membranes into large bowl (you should have about ½ cup juice); discard membranes.

    Step 4

    Whisk oil into tangerine juice in large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add tangerine segments, wild rice, farro, and scallions and toss gently to coat; season with more tangerine juice, if desired.

  • Absolutely 100% delicious!!! And healthy to boot. (Farro is packed with protein and wild rice…) Admittedly, peeling the tangerine segments is not the most exciting thing in the world (and when I was up to 1/4 cup, switched to OJ!) And rather than my own veggie broth, I used a vegan powder (Harvest Sun) and I think the flavoring might have added to the taste. Other than the tangerine-peeling, it’s very easy and result is fabulous. Will make for Thanksgiving - but will want to eat it every day. My favourite BA dish!
