This recipe combines farro, an Italian grain similar to wheat, with roasted butternut squash and red onion. (It's loosely adapted from 101cookbooks.com.) Find farro in the Italian section of many supermarkets or specialty-food stores. This packs well for lunch and is a nice accompaniment to roast chicken or grilled pork.

Keep this in the frig for a snack, salad or side dish.
