Farro Fried Rice with Brussels Sprouts
Have a leftover grain in your fridge? Then you've come to the right place. We love this easy fried "rice" made with Brussels sprouts & leeks.

If you caught Friday’s post, then you’ve already seen the shorthand version of this recipe. I love this one because it’s an easy go-to “use what you have in your fridge” sort of thing. Especially if what you have in your fridge right now is leftover farro. If you don’t have cooked farro in your fridge at this moment, I suggest making this hearty salad tonight, and this fried “rice” recipe tomorrow. You’ll be halfway there.
Of course, you can just make this with brown rice or white rice or whatever you have. I thought farro was a fun alternative because I just love those chewy nutty grains. Jack fried some shallots and set them aside (one of his duties around here: fry man) while I quickly sautéed leeks, added shredded Brussels sprouts and so on and so forth. This recipe is super quick, so be sure to have all of the ingredients prepped and ready to add to the pan.
After you have your shallots ready and your “fried rice” mixed up, just plate it by putting the fried rice on a plate, place a fried egg on top, then garnish with the shallots. Simple!
