1 cup farro
Vegetable oil, for grill
4 medium zucchini or other summer
squash (2 pounds), sliced
lengthwise into 1∕2-inch planks
5 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly
ground black pepper
1∕2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
11∕2 cups raspberries
1∕2 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 cup blackberries, halved
6 ounces crumbled
sheep’s-milk feta
¼ cup packed fresh basil, chopped,
plus small leaves for serving
- Cover farro with 3 inches of water
in a medium saucepan. Bring to a
boil over medium-high heat, then
reduce to a simmer and cook, uncov-
ered, until farro is tender, about 25
minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. - Meanwhile, preheat a grill or
a grill pan over medium-high heat
and lightly coat grates with vege-
table oil. On a rimmed baking
sheet, brush both sides of the zuc-
chini with olive oil and season to
taste with salt and pepper. Grill
the zucchini, flipping halfway
through, until lightly charred and
tender, about 5 minutes. - In a small skillet, toast the cori-
ander seeds over medium heat until
fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer
to a cutting board and smash with
the back of a knife. In a medium
bowl, smash ½ cup raspberries with
the back of a fork. Stir the shallot,
vinegar, and coriander into the
smashed raspberries. Slowly whisk
in ¼ cup olive oil. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. - Toss the farro with the remaining
tablespoon of olive oil. Season
to taste with salt and pepper.
Gently fold the remaining cup
of raspberries, the blackberries,
feta, and basil into the farro. - Serve the zucchini over the
farro salad and drizzle the
smashed-raspberry dressing over
top. Garnish with more basil.
