    I used a large flat casserole dish to toss and roast the Squash / Onion in and stirred halfway through. I also substituted Coconut Oil for the entire recipe and used feta cheese instead. It was amazingly delicious! I want to have it around all the time! - 5/19/14

    I will add to the chorus of praise for this recipe. I had to make a few substitutions based on what I had on hand. I used one cup of 10-minute farro and one of 10-minute barley (Trader Joe's), and went with olive oil instead of walnut oil. Was still absolutely wonderful. - 2/4/13

    This is yummy! I cooked the farro in vegetable stock for added depth of flavor. I do have to ask - why are two different oils listed in the ingredients but only one used in the recipe - AND there are NO oils used to calculate the nutritionals! - 10/20/14
