Quick and Simple Farro with Vegetables

This simple dish is a staple in my house, since it's so easy to make, requires minimal clean-up (we're talking one pot, one lid, one strainer and one large spoon) and is a great #mealprep item, since it can easily be repurposed and used throughout the week. I like to add it to lunchtime salads for an easy way to round out my meal with carbs (and fiber), or use it as a base for a grain bowl later in the week.
