Trying out non wheat recipesMarch 03, 2009By kitty_london
"So i had some spelt flour and farro in the cupboard, and wondered how that would go with this recipe. Delicious tangy flavours, sort of reminiscent of winter spices and mulled wine. The textures of the chicken against the melt-in-your-mouth peaches and the chewy ,grainy texture of the farro which i cooked in vegetable broth went down really well for a casual dinner with friends."
