Spring Onion Farro Fritters with Fresh Peas, Apsaragus, Radish & Tahini-Mint Dressing

June 8, 2015 By Jennifer

Spring Onion Farro Fritters with Fresh Peas, Apsaragus, Radish & Tahini-Mint Dressing

Today I am thrilled to be able to share this wonderful recipe with you! I created this recipe for the awesome editors of Eternity Watch Magazine to be featured in their Spring Issue. It was such a please and honor to do so, Jenny and Vaughn are amazing people and so much fun to work with. If you haven’t had a chance to check out this magazine, I suggest you do so right away!

I absolutely love this recipe! It is whole-foods, plant-based and so delicious. I packed in as many fresh, in-season spring produce I could think of – I like my salads fully loaded. =) And if you are a salad lover like me, you with love this recipe as much as I do.

If you haven’t tried Farro yet, you are missing out on a wonderfully nutritious grain. It’s often used as a substitute for pasta or rice, farro is a grain with a nutty flavor similar to brown rice. It is rich in fiber, magnesium and vitamins A, B, C, and E.

I am definitely going to showcase this awesome grain in upcoming recipes. I decided to use Farro in this recipe because I thought it would be a nice change from using Quinoa. I love Quinoa, but I wanted something new for these fritters. Farro is not gluten-free. But if you are gluten-free and want to try this recipe, you can substitute the Farro for quinoa and sub the whole-wheat flour and panko with gluten-free options.

Eternity Watch Magazine was kind enough to give me the PDF version of my recipe straight out of the magazine to share with you! Click on the link below to download the PDF.

Some other blog news. I currently had all my recipes and post transferred over from Virtually Vegan Mama to Pure Thyme. Unfortunately, some images did not transfer over. =( So, please bear with me while I fix all the glitches. You guys rock!

Have a great day and enjoy this recipe!

xoxo,

Jennifer

    What a beautiful picture. I was lucky enough to get to test this recipe, and it is DELICIOUS! First time trying Farro. I also ordered it on Amazon, as our local markets do not carry it. TWO THUMBS UP on this one, Jennifer. Congrats on the featured article…it is well deserved 🙂 Sending much love from the PBJ Family.

    I really don’t use farro enough. It’s wonderful, but just not one of my pantry staples for some reason. Anyway, what a terrific dish! Perfect for the season — thanks so much.

    Congratulations for being featured! I admit, I have never heard of, or used farro. I feel sure I would love it since it has a nutty flavor. The fritters look delicious. I tend to get tired of cooking the same meals and I would love to try something different.

    That recipe does look quite good. I’ve never heard of Farro before in my life. If it’s as good and nutritious as it seems I shall have to give it a shot. Thanks.

    Every time I think about a fritter I think of something dipped in meal and deep-fried. It is very refreshing to experiment with different foods that end up being delicious and good for you as well.

    • Jennifer says

      February 19, 2016 at 6:17 pm

      Me too! lol that’s one of the reasons I took this recipe on, to come up with a healthier version that doesn’t lack in flavor!

    Wow, looks super healthy delicious. And one great thing that I enjoy is plating of course, because of its choice of colorful veggies!, perfect combi with a fresh Lemon iced juice. Can’t wait try this!, and I’m sure will be loving this. Thanks for the recipe.

      A fresh lemon iced juice sounds really good right now….=) We are having beautiful warm weather where I live today and I could sit outside with something like that right now 😉

    The pictures of the food makes me hungry. I will be checking out the natural/organic section of the grocery store more often to find some of the ingredients that you have suggested. Your recipes are divine! Thanks so much for posting these.

    I have never tried Farro, but I am glad that you shared the recipe with us. I am going to try and see if I like this and then see if the family like it as well. I love trying new foods and I hope that this one is successful with the kids. I am looking for all kinds of new things to try and now I can add farro to my list.

    I just tried Farro for the first time and much like yourself I use quinoa in just about everything. This is a great thing to add to my weekly repertoire! Very delicious and healthy option thanks!

    Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for making this recipe! I never tried Farro before I read your recipe. It turns out I like it better than Quinoa!

    I have never heard of farro before until I came across your post. I use a lot of quinoa though and it is readily available where I am. I will try this intriguing grain and your recipe. Thank you!
