Method
- Toast the dry farro in a 5-quart pot over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until it smells nutty and darkens a shade. Add 3 quarts water and 3 tbsp salt, boil, then simmer 18 to 25 minutes, tasting from 18, until chewy-tender.
- Meanwhile heat the oven to 425°F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Toss the broccoli and onion with 2 tbsp oil and ¾ tsp salt on one sheet pan; toss the chickpeas with 1 tbsp oil, the cumin, paprika and ¼ tsp salt on another.
- Roast 20 to 25 minutes, stirring and swapping the pans' racks at the halfway point, until the broccoli edges are charred and the chickpeas are crisp-skinned.
- Drain the farro, spread it on a plate to steam-dry for 5 minutes, then toss with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Stir the yogurt, garlic, zest of both lemons, 3 tbsp lemon juice, herbs and ½ tsp salt together, thinning with 2 tbsp water until pourable.
- Toast the pepitas in a dry skillet for 2 minutes. Divide the farro, broccoli, onion and chickpeas among four containers and top with feta. Pack the pepitas and sauce separately; the bowls keep 4 days in the fridge and reheat in 2 minutes.
