Ingredients for Curried Spelt Salad

• 475ml spelt, semi-pearled farro, or whole wheat berries, rinsed

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning

• 2 colheres de sopa de óleo vegetal

• 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (such as Madras)

• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds

• 3/4 teaspoons ground cardamom

• 3/4 colher de chá de coentro em pó

• 6 small carrots, peeled, cut into 1/4" dice

• Pimenta preta moída na hora

• 60ml de vinagre de maçã

• 240ml thinly sliced red onion (about 1/2 large onion)

• 1/2 lemon cut lengthwise, ends removed, finely chopped with peel (about 80g )

• 450g shredded cooked chicken (from 1 rotisserie chicken

• opcional)

• 2 cups baby or wild rocket

• 2 cups (packed) coriander sprigs with tender stems plus more for garnish

• 2 colheres de sopa de azeite de oliva extra-virgem

Place spelt and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium pot. Add water to cover by 1 1/2". Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until spelt is tender and water is mostly absorbed, about 1 hour (or 12-15 minutes if using semi-pearled farro). Drain; place in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add curry, mustard seeds, cardamom, and coriander; cook, stirring often, until spices are fragrant and mustard seeds begin to pop, 2-3 minutes. Stir in carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until carrots are crisp-tender, 5-6 minutes.

Add vinegar and stir until evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in onion and lemon. Remove pan from heat and stir until onion is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Add vegetable mixture to bowl with spelt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Add chicken (if using), rocket, 2 cups coriander, and olive oil to spelt mixture; toss to combine. Transfer salad to a large platter. Garnish with coriander sprigs.
