Wintergreens and Farro
This recipe is delicious..though I've made some adjustments...I definitely used less than 2/3 cups of olive oil...more like 1/3 cup. I used Kale and steamed it before adding it to the cooked Farro....I used mixed dried fruits...It looks great and tastes awesome...I am so glad I found this recipe to use up my Kale and experiment with Farro!
