When i make something for the first time, i follow the recipe and then determine, as I’m eating, what i would change. Well, I made this tonight and I wouldn’t change A THING. It’s perfect and just the comfort I needed. Thank you for this recipe!

Wow! Such a fast and easy recipe and totally delicious! A few short-cuts/ substitutions all worked - sign of an amazing recipe! I didn't have anchovies and so substituted a 1/2 teaspoon or so of fish sauce. I added veggie chorizo which was delightful. I also just added chopped fennel fronds to some pre-made pesto (we make it every year) and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the wonderful summer recipe!

alisa -- so glad you enjoyed this! (Love the idea of adding fennel fronds to pre-made pesto -- smart!) Thanks so much for trying this and circling back.

Made this last night and loved it! We used brown rice, added a little bit of Italian sausage and wilted in some kale at the end. The addition of the fennel frond pesto was amazing. I will be making this probably every week now! Thanks for the delicious recipe :)

We thought this was very good. I didn't make the "pesto" as directed at the end. I chopped up the fronds with parmesan and pine nuts and added it to the farro dry, and then stirred in some lemon juice. I didn't miss the extra oil, or the extra bowl to clean. I considered stirring in some arugula at the end too but ran out of time. I think that would be a nice addition.

I used barley since the store was out of farro. I liked this, although it was very salty. I don’t know if that was from the salt itself or the anchovy paste. I couldn’t really taste the lemon or fennel unless I got a big bite of it, but when I did it was quite good. I might try it again with adjustments.

It was really good. Surprised how forward the anchovy was. Will make again.
