Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook farro in the boiling water until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain.

  2. Cook and stir cherries in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until liquid is released, 5 to 7 minutes. Add red wine and 1 pinch salt, simmer until cherries soften and sauce is slightly reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan, cook and stir sausage until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch salt. Cook and stir until liquid is released from mushrooms, about 5 minutes. Stir farro and white wine into mushroom mixture, cook until wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

  4. Remove pan from heat. Add spinach, parsley, and cherry sauce, stir until spinach is slightly wilted. Stir in goat cheese until melted, toss well.

Recipe Note

Farro, a cleaner nuttier taste from barley, pairs so well with jalapeno chicken sausage, black cherries, mushrooms, spinach, and goat cheese. Serve with toasted baguette. Wow! Who would have thunk it?
