Turn leftover farro—or use some of your freshly cooked grains—to make these patties. Rich with goat cheese and fresh with cilantro, they are a great vegetarian main course served with a green salad on the side.
Savory Pan Fried Farro Cakes with Goat Cheese and Cilantro
If you just made the farro allow it to cool first.
To the cooked farro add the Chios N.27, beaten eggs, goat cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, panko bread crumbs, and a large pinch of salt. Gently fold until well mixed.
Using a 1⁄4-cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture and shape it into a 3-inch-round patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form 8 patties
Coat a large nonstick pan with olive oil (2 to 3 tablespoons) and set over medium heat. When
the oil is hot and shimmering, add the patties in
a single layer, spacing them an inch apart. Cook,
turning once, until browned on both sides and
heated through, about 5 minutes total. Garnish
with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges
for squeezing fresh juice on top.
