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.

Ingredients

    2 cups farro
    3 cups butternut squash, cubed
    1 large red onion, cut into wedges
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    1 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
    3 Tbsp. walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

Serves 6 to 8 as a side, or 4 as a main course.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss onion wedges and butternut squash with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a generous pinch of coarse salt and several grinds of black pepper. Place on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet and roast until tender and a bit browned, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook farro according to package directions. Drain and cool slightly.

In a large serving bowl, toss farro, roasted vegetables and walnuts. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Add goat cheese.

    The calculations were figured for the entire recipe not 4-6 servings, so divide the nutritional information by the number of servings you are using. - 2/1/11

    This sounds awesome. Obviously, it serves approx. 4-6 people. I will definitely try this, as I have Farro in my cupboard. Just need to stock up on Goat Cheese! - 1/26/12

    It would be better to go back to the Recipe Calculator & correct the number of servings information. Otherwise you can not add this recipe to the Menu Planner. - 2/1/11
