dressing up farro aka emmer for a side

[CookieMonster]

we like farro for a change up to (other starches) - but just boiled/steamed it is a bit on the unexciting side . . . .

any experiences/ideas/suggestions for 'dressing it up'? aka more flavorful . . .

Roasted garlic and lemon pepper? Or stir in some chopped fresh spinach and feta cheese on low heat near the end until it's warmed.

I'd do a quick stir fry with a tbsp or two of onion and a tbsp or two of diced tomato. Add near the end and stir in some fresh mint and fresh dill.
Or forget the onion and use garlic & tomato, adding fresh basil and oregano.
