Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Farro

    In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the farro and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Butternut Squash

    In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced butternut squash and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the cinnamon, bay leaf, and orange preserve. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the squash is tender and coated with the mixture.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked farro, chopped kale, diced celery, and chopped parsley to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
