Charring peach halves on a hot grill pan or under the broiler concentrates their sweetness and gives them a smoky edge that plays beautifully against chewy whole-grain farro. A scatter of toasted walnuts and soft dollops of ricotta finish the bowl.

Peaches bring vitamin C and plant pigments to the table, part of the wider category of antioxidant-rich, colorful produce, while farro's whole-grain fiber helps make this a genuinely filling dish rather than a side note. Walnuts add omega-3 fats, one of the nutrients often grouped with skin-friendly, anti-aging eating.

Serve warm or at room temperature — it travels well, making it a good option for a picnic or a packed lunch.
