Farro Risotto and Butternut Squash with Roasted Romesco
Nutty, wholesome farro meets smoky Catalan Romesco in a fresh take on Mediterranean comfort.
At Pyramid Bistro in Aspen, this dish was a year-round favorite. While the vegetables changed with the seasons, the almond romesco (rich, smoky, and nutty) remained the constant that tied the plate together and made every version feel satisfying and complete.
Farro: Simple, Steady, Satisfying
Farro brings a grounded, nourishing quality to a bowl. As a whole grain, its fiber supports gut health, while its complex carbohydrates help provide steadier energy. With plant-based protein, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins, farro offers a well-rounded nutrient profile that’s easy to build meals around.
An ancient form of wheat with a gentle chew and nutty depth, farro fits naturally into a modern, balanced way of eating.
