1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Farro
2		Radicchio
5 tablespoons	75ml	Olive oil - divided
6		Flat anchovies
2		Garlic cloves - minced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice
1 tablespoon	15ml	Capers
1/2 cup	118ml	Thinly-sliced prosciutto - (abt 2 oz)

Recipe Instructions

Boil the water in a 3-quart saucepan. Add the salt and stir in the farro. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer over medium-low heat until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.

While the farro is cooking, grill the radicchio. Cut each head of radicchio into 6 wedges. Brush the wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Grill over medium-high heat on a cast-iron grill pan or outdoor grill until the radicchio is charred and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove the radicchio from the grill and let it cool enough to handle. Remove the core from the radicchio wedges. Discard the core; cut the remaining radicchio into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Add to the farro and toss.

Using a mortar and pestle, grind the anchovies to a paste. Add the garlic and crush it with the anchovy. Add the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix.

Pour the dressing over the farro and toss. Stir in the capers and prosciutto.

Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
