early summer misc recipes

Initially didn't think this was very flavorful, but apparently it just needed an extra day for the flavors to meld - it was a fantastic lunch: Farro Salad

This was delicious, and the potatoes were basically bliss itself: pan-fried lemon chicken with asparagus and skillet potatoes

Although it was (very) tasty, this butter chicken was kind of a pain to make, and super duper rich.

This spring-time carbonara was kind of meh (and also Victor thought it had too much egg).

We made this soup back when it was actually appropriate, seasonally speaking, but I don't think I noted it at the time: white bean and kale soup.

some late spring recipes and miscellany

Loving this chickpea salad right now. (Note: I always end up cooking the onions for closer to 15 minutes than 8.)

Liked - but did not love - this farro salad.

Attempted this approach to having pre-prepared shredded beef on hand, with only moderate success (there may have been a truly disgusting attempt at making beef-barley soup in the pressure cooker).

Trying to take more of a 'make-ahead' approach in general, I made carrot-coconut soup, which we both liked a lot.

I currently have a big batch of farro cooling, as suggested in this post.
