Ingredients

For the Pepita Lime Sauce:

  • ¾ cup toasted pumpkin seeds soaked for at least 1 hour (plus extra for garnish)
  • ¾ cup flat leaf parsley or cilantro leaves lightly packed
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon light miso
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup water plus extra

For the Bowls:

  • 1 cup whole farro
  • 1 bunch broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 bunch kale any kind, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas (1 15oz can, drained and rinsed)

Instructions

Preparing the Green Goddess Bowls:

  • Start by soaking the pumpkin seeds in water for at least 1 hour. This will help soften them and enhance their flavor.
  • In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of farro with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked pumpkin seeds, parsley or cilantro, garlic, cumin, agave nectar or maple syrup, light miso, lime zest, lime juice, and ¾ cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • In a steamer basket over boiling water, steam the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes until bright green and tender. Add the chopped kale to the basket and steam for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked farro, steamed broccoli, kale, and chickpeas. Toss gently to combine.
  • To serve, divide the farro and vegetable mixture into bowls. Drizzle generously with the Pepita Lime Sauce and garnish with extra toasted pumpkin seeds. Enjoy your Green Goddess Bowls with Farro & Pepita Lime Sauce while they’re fresh!
