  4. Meanwhile, bring 3 cups of lightly salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the farro to the pot and lower to a simmer. Let cook for 10-15 minutes, or until water has evaporated. Remove from the heat.
  5. Arrange the red pepper slices on a foil-lined baking sheet, skin up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. In each of 4 bowls, combine a quarter of the farro, a quarter of the black beans, the kernels from one ear of corn, and a quarter of the roasted bell peppers. Drizzle with remaining chimichurri sauce and serve warm.
