spicy corn, tomato, peach & burrata farro bowl

3 · Jul 18, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

this vegetarian-friendly dish combines some of the best summer flavors all in one easy grain bowl! done in less than 10 minutes, it’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Still going strong with my tomato/peach/burrata combo obsession!

This dish is literally the embodiment of summer to me. It’s got so many of summer’s best flavors thrown in there that it’s hard not to feel happy just taking a bite!

It’s also so easy to pull together which makes it even more perfect for summer. There’s very little time in the kitchen involved which is a total plus if the weather where you are is anything like the weather here in North Carolina (hot & HUMID as all).

I am allll about easy meals with the temperatures in the 90s so this meal was a winner for me just because of its ease!

It makes a great simple vegetarian dinner option or easy packed lunch. It packs a little salty, a little sweet and a good amount of heat (feel free to omit the jalapeños and simply sauté the veggies in some chili powder if you don’t like a lot of spice).

If you have a household full of big meat eaters, you can definitely toss some chicken in this dish and it will go well. A little crispy bacon would also pair nicely with these flavors. No matter how you choose to serve it, I promise you, it’ll be a new summer favorite!

Description

this vegetarian-friendly dish combines some of the best summer flavors all in one easy grain bowl! done in less than 10 minutes, it’s as nutritious as it is delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked farro
  • 1 heaping handful of arugula
  • 1 cup no-salt added yellow corn, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes, washed & halves
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1–2 jalapeños, washed, de-seeded & diced (more or less depending on how much heat you want)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (and more as desired for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice ( the juice of 1 lime)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 peaches, washed, cored & thinly sliced (you can also dice if you prefer)
  • 2 large balls of burrata cheese (1 8 oz. container’s worth)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook farro in low sodium vegetable broth, according to package instructions then drain any remaining liquid and place in a large bowl.
  2. To a large non-stick skillet, add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil.  Once oil is hot, add corn, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, oregano, salt & pepper.  Saute for ~2 minutes just to marinate the flavors together (you want the vegetables to be just tender, so that they maintain some of their crunch).
  3. Add arugula & sautéed vegetables on top of the cooked farro then add lime zest, fresh lime juice and peaches, tossing to combine.  
  4. Break burrata up into pieces and distribute throughout the bowl.  Top with additional salt & pepper as desired, another drizzle of olive oil and more lime juice as needed.

Keywords: vegetarian, dinner, corn, tomato, burrata, farro, peach

hear me out. I know we've been taught to celebrat hear me out.  I know we've been taught to celebrate things like weight loss, toned muscles, beauty procedures that help us look younger...but here's why I always caution against putting so much focus on appearance:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
bodies change.  weight fluctuates. skin sags and wrinkles.  hair grays.  these are all part of the natural process (& privilege) of aging.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we live in a society that promotes this backward idea that our appearance should remain stable despite years passing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
rather than internalizing the false idea that we need always be reaching backward and working to re-obtain what once was, allow your body to showcase the beautiful signs that you were given yet another day to walk this earth.  another chance to pursue your passion and purpose...both of which are so much more important than how you look.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to anyone that needs this reminder today: you are not your body.  your worth and well-being is not dependent on your appearance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

tweaked my slow cooker turkey, bean & veggie chili tweaked my slow cooker turkey, bean & veggie chili this past week to make it meatless and it was 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
here’s how I did it:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (I used a mixture)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 3 cloves garlic, minced⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 (28-oz.) can diced tomatoes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1  15-oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 1/2 cups veggie broth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 3 teaspoons chili powder (+/- as desired)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1-2 sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 2 inch cubes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Salt & pepper, to taste⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2-4 tbsp. olive oil⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 cups cooked quinoa⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
place everything but the quinoa into a slow cooker & place on HIGH for 4 hours.  Stir in cooked quinoa & add additional salt / pepper / spices to taste.  top with your favorite toppings (I love cheese, avocado, yogurt & hot sauce).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this chili is great right away (even better after a day to marinate in the fridge) and is an easy make-ahead meal you can enjoy all week!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

what's a diet culture rule you've never quite unde what's a diet culture rule you've never quite understood?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for me it was definitely the "don't eat after 6pm" rule 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
hunger and digestion are not run by the clock.  there are so many factors that can go into why we feel hungry from one moment to the next, and that feeling of hunger is always valid and should be honored, regardless of the time of day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
similarly, there are no 'right' or 'wrong' times to eat a meal.  breakfast, lunch and dinner are not bound to specific windows of time.  each can be eaten whenever you & your body deem it appropriate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
hope this reaches anyone who might need these reminders today ❤️

these greek spinach & feta turkey meatballs make f these greek spinach & feta turkey meatballs make for a super simple weeknight meal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm partial to serving them over some couscous or quinoa, slathering them in tzatziki sauce then adding some fresh cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes & pita bread.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but you can really serve them up in whatever way you like best!  done in 35 minutes and makes enough to eat for several meals 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

just to add a little perspective around the messag just to add a little perspective around the messaging that’s out there telling us all how to “lose the COVID 15...”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
let's reframe the fear mongering language around weight gain during this pandemic as a sign of privilege.  having enough, at a time where so many have lost so much, should be looked at as nothing but a positive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
our bodies are meant to shift and change with different seasons of life.  using food as one way to cope with hard emotions is completely common and part of a peaceful relationship with food.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
we are in unprecedented times.  seeking self-comfort and care in whatever way works for you is OKAY.  having gained weight during this pandemic is OKAY and not something you need to be jumping to 'fix' or 'correct.' and most importantly, it's okay to reframe comfort eating to something you can be grateful for, a coping skill you have the privilege and opportunity to enjoy, rather than berating yourself for it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
sending everyone a great big virtual hug today 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
