A Whole Grain Risotto From Ancient Times





Let's talk about an emerging food trend, ancient grains. These grains date back centuries, and are among the healthiest foods you can eat, also they taste great!  Whole Foods Market Author Margaret Whittenburg, who wrote New Good Food told Tonia's Kitchen about a risotto she made using the ancient grain Farro.  Margaret combined the farro with mushrooms, onions, some thyme and olive oil, to create a rich, flavorful risotto, that's unique in every way.  She also says you can do this risotto with quinoa if you're familiar with it.
