    Ancho-Honey Salmon with Farro & Lime Sour Cream
    Title
    • 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
    • ½ cup Semi-Pearled Farro
    • 1 Lime
    • 1 Poblano Pepper
    • 4 oz Grape Tomatoes
    • 2 cloves Garlic
    • ¼ cup Sour Cream
    • 2 tsps Honey

    Cook the farro
    1 Cook the farro

    Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. 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.

    Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes; place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and lime zest; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), chile paste, and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
