My husband loves to cook and often comes up with the savory dishes for the blog. One of the more popular dishes that he has created is the Peanut Noodle Stir Fry. I love to bake and stick mostly to doing that. This is a dish he came up with. I am going to be on a panel for a Google + hangout soon. In preparation, Bob’s Red Mill sent me a box of their Grains of Discovery line. Farro was one of the grains in the kit. I have always wanted to try it and I am so glad I did. It has a nutty taste and texture that goes very well with the mushrooms.
If you are gluten free, wild rice or quinoa would work as well. We ate ours warm, but I think it would be a great cold dish as well.
