Farro Salad with Spring Peas, Onions & Feta

• 1 pound pearled farro
• 1 1/2 cups peas, thawed if frozen
• 1/2 pound red pearl onions, root ends trimmed
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano

1. In a large saucepan, cover the farro with 2 inches of water.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer over moderately low heat until the farro is al dente, about 25 minutes.
3. Drain the farro and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the peas until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peas to a sieve and cool under running water.
6. Add the onions to the saucepan and blanch just until the skins start to wrinkle, 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Drain the onions and cool them under running water, then peel them.
8. Preheat a grill pan.
9. In a large bowl, toss the onions with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
10. Grill the onions over moderately high heat, tossing occasionally, until they are softened and charred in spots, about 8 minutes.
11. Return the onions to the bowl and let them cool.
12. Add the cooled farro, peas, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
13. Fold in the feta, mint and oregano, season the salad with salt and pepper and serve.
