Anson Mills Farro:

2 cups Farro
2 ½ cups chicken stock or water
1 Thyme sprig

2 Tbsp Mint
2 Tbsp Basil
3 tspn Dijon Mustard
2 anchovy filet
12 capers rinsed

Chop the anchovy, capers and garlic together, add to food processor bowl. Chop herbs liberally, then add to food processor. Turn processor on while slowly streaming oil, until the herbs make a green paste. Add mustard and pulse once more to combine. Add more oil until the paste is a little loose, but not runny.
