Farrotto 1/17

So the Cooking Light magazine this month had a ton of recipes that looked great.  I found a recipe for a "Farrotto" with Butternut, Gruyere, and Hazelnuts. I had never cooked with Farro before, so I thought it would be fun to try something with this healthy whole grain.

The recipe was certainly easy, though it is a little bit labor intensive as you pour and stir, pour and stir, etc etc.  But it was well worth it, as this was probably one of my favorite meals, and we will definitely make it again!
I pretty much followed their recipe exactly, except that I didn't buy fresh sage since I had a ton of it that had been dried from Sandy & Sarah's garden from this past summer.  I just used that in place of the fresh sage, and everything else was per their instructions.

You should definitely try this one if you get some time!  Wegmans and Whole foods definitely sell Farro, not sure if regular grocery stores typically stock it, but its worth digging up.
