Ditch those dodgy cubes of bread from the grocery store and make a whole grain stuffing from cracked farro and quinoa! One of the things I've always hated about most stuffing is that it's devoid of real texture. This has a delightful crunch and loads of texture thanks to the quinoa and from using whole, steel-cut grains. The texture is somewhere between pilaf and stuffing but in a good way, and leftovers are amazing. Unlike traditional bread stuffing it doesn't get gummy in the fridge.

Nutty and delicious, our Cracked Farro Porridge is specially milled to highlight the hearty, nutty flavor of farro. Its cracked whole grain form makes it a perfect addition to all your fall cooking, adding depth and nutrition to this festive stuffing.

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 2 minutes, add the carrots, celery and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add butter and stir until melted.
Add the Cracked Farro Porridge and sauté for 2 minutes to toast the grains a bit before pouring in 2 cups of stock. Add the quinoa and seasonings, stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover for 15-20 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir the stuffing to fluff it up, adding the remaining 1/2 cup of stock and hazelnuts.
Spread the stuffing in an oven safe dish and bake at 375 until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp. Top with additional fresh thyme leaves before serving.
