Summary
Farro verde is harvested early, when still green, then roasted for extra nuttiness and flavor. Regular farro can be substituted. Grilling the bone-in loin with the fat cap still intact ensures juicy, flavorful meat that won't dry out on the grill.
Ingredients
- 1 6-bone section of a bone-in pork loin (5 to 6 pounds), preferably with fat cap attached
- Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- 3 cups farro verde
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth, preferably homemade
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons chopped shallot (from 1 large shallot)
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (from 3 cloves)
- 2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
- 1 fresh bay leaf, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 8 plums, such as Flavor Grenade, Dapple Dandy, Green Gage, Santa Rosa, Flavor King, Catalina, or Elephant Heart, halved, pitted, and cut into wedges, for serving
- Thyme, oregano, and opal basil sprigs (optional), for serving
