Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounce Goat Cheese Log
  • 4 cups Tomatoes (cherry or grape)
  • 3 cups Baby Spinach (fresh)
  • 1 small red onion (sliced)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (halved lengthwise)
  • 5 cups Farro (cooked)
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the vegetables and goat cheese.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Add the cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced red onion, and halved garlic cloves into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, onion, and garlic, then gently stir to coat all ingredients.
  4. Place Goat Cheese: Position the goat cheese log in the center of the baking dish amidst the vegetables.
  5. Season: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the entire dish, enhancing the flavor profile.
  6. Roast: Put the baking dish into the preheated oven and roast for 40 minutes until the tomatoes burst and the goat cheese softens and slightly melts.
  7. Cook Farro: While the dish roasts, cook the farro according to the package instructions until tender.
  8. Stir Melted Ingredients: Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the roasted tomatoes and melted goat cheese together to combine their flavors.
  9. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh baby spinach and let the residual heat wilt the leaves gently over a couple of minutes.
  10. Combine Farro: Mix the cooked farro into the vegetable and cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  11. Optional Garnish and Serve: Garnish with grated parmesan cheese or fresh basil leaves if desired, then serve warm and enjoy this hearty, flavorful bake.

Notes

  • You can substitute farro with quinoa or brown rice if preferred.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil or oregano for additional flavor.
  • If dairy is a concern, try a plant-based goat cheese alternative.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting.
