Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Cook the farro: Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the farro and cook, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly.
- Prepare the ingredients: Meanwhile, wash and dry fresh produce. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Peel and medium dice the orange. Pit and roughly chop the olives. Roughly chop the peppers.
- Cook the green beans: In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved green beans and half the diced onion in an even layer; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the green beans are softened and the liquid has cooked off. Transfer to a large bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
-
Cook the fish: Combine the spices (paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, cayenne, and cinnamon) in a small bowl. Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt (optional), pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and
cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
* An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F. - Make the pan sauce & serve your dish: Add the remaining diced onion and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan of reserved fond; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the raisins, diced orange, and 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and most of the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat. To the bowl of cooked green beans, add the cooked farro, chopped olives, chopped peppers, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt (optional) and pepper; stir to combine. Serve the finished farro topped with the cooked fish and pan sauce. Enjoy!
