Fall Farro Pilaf
Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients
Preparation
NotesIngredients
- 2 cups farro Add to list
- 3 cups water Add to list
- 1 onion halved Add to list
- 1 carrot halved Add to list
- 1 tablespoon salt Add to list
- 1 sachet (thyme sprigs, bay leaf, crushed garlic clove, peppercorns wrapped in cheese cloth Add to list
- 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced Add to list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Add to list
- Salt and pepper to taste Add to list
- 2 cups celery, cut into large bias cuts Add to list
- 1 leek cut into 1/2-inch rounds Add to list
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450º F.
Place the farro in a stock pot with water, onion, carrot, salt and sachet. Cook until tender. Strain and remove vegetables and sachet.
While farro is cooking, toss butternut squash in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet with plenty of space between pieces. Repeat with celery and leek. It's preferable to roast the vegetables separately. Roast the squash until is just barely tender and has browned a little. The celery should be slightly crisp and slightly browned, as should the leeks.
Mix the roasted vegetables and farro. Reheat in oven for 5 to 10 minutes to desired temperature and serve immediately.

RE: calorie counts
Hello,
We're currently determining how best to analyze and present the nutritional data for our deli dishes and recipes.
In the meantime, we recommend using this online tool to calculate nutritional data. http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
Thanks,

calorie count
If you go to myfitnesspal.com and create and account (it's free) you can go to the "food" tab and hit "recipe's, then you simply plug in the exact amounts you are adding and then plug in the number of servings and it will calculate the calories. Additionally, if you use the online food journal, a number of foods (even the deli and specialty foods from certain grocers) are already calorie counted.
Hope that helps.

Need Calorie Counts
Help~! Trying to eat healthy and eating your winter farro salad everyday -- my favorite, but without knowing the calories, it is impossible to calculate it into the calories available on my diet. Please post the calorie contents soon -- I don't want to go back to eating frozen entrees just because the calories are already figured-out!
Thanks!
