Thanks for the tip about using quinoa or brown rice. I've got my family on the GFCF diet (no gluten & no dairy) because we have two boys on the autism spectrum. They're really responding well (especially the more affected one!), and I'm always on the lookout for recipes that they might like. I plan to try this & post back! Ooh, that looks SOOOO yummy!

I love that you are experimenting with very interesting flavors. I'm so intrigued by the garlic jam! I make a very similar recipe as this using barley. It's tasty, beautiful looking and so healthy.

(yay chard, absolutely!) Nuria -- It does look like rice, but farro is a grain, similar to barley or spelt. You should be able to find it in health food stores, or substitute another grain that you have on hand! Stacey -- Spelt is actually VERY similar to farro -- I haven't cooked with spelt much, so I didn't think of it off the bat, but they could definitely be used interchangably (just taste to make sure the cooking times are still appropriate). Farro is slightly chewier and firmer han spelt, but spelt would definitely work! Emily — on yum, egg and grains mix so well! (yay chard, absolutely!)

This reminds me of my favorite risotto (<a href="http://food.jitterbeangirl.com/archives/000742.html#risotto" rel="nofollow">butternut squash with wilted spinach and pine nuts</a>) but way healthier. Would spelt be another good grain choice? I don't think I'll be able to find farro in Alaska, but I always have some quinoa in my fridge if all else fails. Yum!

Im not sure there is any rhyme or reason to what you can and cannot find sometimes. I think few things go better with grains than swiss chard...at marks and spencer they sell ready-set-go containers of veggie mixes...alot of times with veg ive never even heard of. my newest favorite is the rainbow variety that includes spring onions snow peas bock choy and chinese cabage....steam these, cook some brown rice or quinoa, a bit of olive oil heated with chili flakes, a dash of soy, and a fried egg on top is a pretty darn healthy and delicious fried rice!! long story short, yay chard ! !

Tanna -- I think it's such a good substitute for plain old spinach, I'm going to be using it in a lot of dishes! :-) Ronell -- Thanks! Ellie -- Absolutely. I can't even count the ingredients I've discovered from other people's blogs! Emiline -- Oh no! Its hard to find, even here, though. Brown rice would be another possible substitute, and much easier to get one's hands on! Cakespy, Peabody — Thanks!

We don't have farro! Boo hoo! I want to try farro, quinoa, millet, and more. Maybe someday. The combination of squash, hazelnuts, swiss chard, and farrro, sounds like a good one.
