For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for the walnuts. If you don't have fresh chives, a pinch of dried chives or finely chopped scallions will work in a pinch. Toasted walnuts add an extra layer of flavor. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Apr 12, 2024The farro took longer than 30 minutes to become tender. I'd suggest checking it after 20 minutes. Overall a great recipe!
