My friends mom made this dish for a summer get together. The best thing about farro dishes is that you can add in different ingredients depending on what you had. This recipe came from an old Food and Wine magazine, which called for Haricot (a thin green bean). For us college kids, or anyone else on a tight budget green beans are just fine too!! I have been slacking on updating the blog because I have been so busy this summer. Hopefully, I will get back on track so that way you guys have new recipes to try out! Enjoy!
