Lamb Chop With Farro Salad

If you are not using precooked farro, prepare it before  you start the next step.

Lamb Chops
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.  Coat the pan lightly with oil on a paper towel or you can use cooking spray.  Season the lamb with salt and pepper on each side.  Add the lamb to the pan and cook 5 minutes each side.  Remove from pan and let stand 5 minutes. Set aside.

Farro
Heat the farro per package instructions.  If you are using the semi-pearled farro, cook 1 cup of farro with 2 cups of water.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes.  If you aren't using precooked farro then start this 30 minutes ahead.  Once the farro is cooked, spread it out on a baking sheet and allow it to cool slightly.

Dressing
Combine 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper with the lemon rind, juice, olive oil, shallots, honey, Dijon, and chopped thyme in a small bowl.  Whisk to combine.

Presentation
Combine the farro and the greens in a bowl. Top with half of the dressing, and toss to coat the greens.  Divide the salad among 4 plates.  Top the salad with the lamb chops (2 per plate) and drizzle remaining dressing over the lamb and salad.
