There’s a ton of room in this recipe for substitutions and customization. The farro can be swapped out for any grain: quinoa, barley, wild rice, etc. Same with the cheese! You could try blue cheese or goat instead if you’re not into feta or don’t have it on hand.
ABOUT FIVE-INGREDIENT MEALS:
Five ingredient meals are wholesome down to earth recipes that focus on the quality of ingredients rather than quantity. These flavorful, unfussy meals are fun and easy to make.
Salt, pepper, and oil are fair game and therefore not considered one of the five ingredients!
