Here's a fun fact: farro is one of the most hunted ingredients that gets customers contacting us! With that in mind we feel like the humble farro grain deserves some of our time & attention, and so this week we've prepared a delicious farro recipe for you to try at home.
There’s a reason that Tuscans have enjoyed farro for hundreds of years. Farro is delicious, nutritious and an excellent stand-in for rice, pearled barley and other grains in so many dishes. This morish Pumpkin & Sage Risotto really showcases its nutty flavour, slightly chewy texture and warming appeal. The fact that it is packed with nutrients doesn't hurt either. Farro is a whole grain, loaded with B3, magnesium and zinc (and double the protein and fibre of quinoa, say what?!). You'll find that a risotto made with farro will be truly satisfying and a sustaining bowl of deliciousness.

As the weather cools our minds have turned towards the humble bowl of porridge. So we want to share with you some of our favourite porridge recipes. But first, I thought we'd take a brief stroll through the vast and varied history of what is, at its heart, a humble bowl of cooked, starchy grains. Put simply, porridge is grains - often crushed or split - boiled with water or milk, and topped with various flavourings.
Porridge has been around for thousands of years, and traditional variations span every continent. Porridge, in all of its incarnations, shares one thing: it's always greater than the sum of its parts. To call porridge just a bowl of oats it's like saying cheese is just a load of milk, or wine is just a glass of grapes. This anytime recipe is a great one to have in your arsenal, as most of the ingredients can be found in the pantry. Whether it's served as a quick midweek dinner or as an accompaniment to a fancier feast, I think you'll find that it's a handy dish to keep up your sleeve. Winner winner, midweek dinner!
