Farro with Mushrooms & Roasted Tomatoes
 

This is a delicious, comfort food, casserole that I made as an entree, with a side of steamed broccoli, but you could also serve it as a side dish if you prefer to have meat with it.

Farro with Mushrooms & Roasted Tomatoes

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/4 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 1/4 cups white mushrooms, diced

2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup diced fire-roasted tomatoes (I used a 15oz. can, drained well)
1 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley

Farro is the same as spelt and is delicious and nutty. I must get some soon as I love it as my healthy carb.

My husband (the newly converted vegetarian) loves farro so I will definitely try this recipe once I can eat tomatoes again. Sounds yummy.

I finally made this tonight and it was delicious!!!! DH loved it too. I will definitely make it again :)
