Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil (use lemon infused olive oil if you have it)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt & fresh ground pepper (to taste)
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup cracked farro
16 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl and set aside.
