Instructions

  • Place grano or farro grains in water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl.
  • Blanch kale in a separate pot with boiling water for 30 seconds to wilt, drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Squeeze out water and chop. Place in same bowl as the grain.
  • Heat oil in a hot pan and sauté onions and garlic until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add to other ingredients.
  • Add shredded potatoes, nuts, raisins, salt and black pepper to bowl. Mix well. Add in ricotta cheese and mix keeping the cheese a bit chunky. Place ingredients into an oven proof pan such as a 10” cast iron pan or cake pan.
  • Whisk together eggs and whites and add to pan. Press gently to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  • Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for 20-30 minutes (it is ready when the center is firm to the touch).

Chef Tips

Adding egg whites results in a fluffier, lighter custard. You may omit the whites and have a slightly denser custard, it will be just as delicious.
