  • 1 cup farro
  • 3 teaspoons kosher or sea salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

  5. Grill beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side (or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F). Grill zucchini 4 minutes per side. Allow patties to rest 5 minutes while slicing zucchini into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
