The crisp on them were delicious!

Cook 16-18 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a larger bowl. Add the arugula, lemon zest, drizzle with oil and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  20151129_1822395. While the cauliflower continues to roast, in the pot used to cook the farro, heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Cook, stirring occasionally, 15 to 30 seconds, or until the butter foams. Continue stirring and swirling around the pan for 2-3 minutes or until deep golden brown (Be careful not to overcook, as the butter can burn easily).

6. Add the grapes, shallots, and half the rosemary to the pot of browned butter; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until well combined and fragrant. Stir the juice of 4 lemon wedges and turn off the heat. Season with Salt & Pepper.20151129_182730 20151129_1830057. Now it’s time to plate! Divide the farro mixture between 2 plates.
