This Sausage and Farro Skillet was soooo delicious and extremely easy to make! It’s a perfect dish to make for family, friends, or to enjoy for yourself.

I have been all about the quick and easy meals. You know what I mean? The ones that don’t require too much effort but are still packed with flavor? Yeah, those kinds of meals.

This Sausage and Farro Skillet meal was just that - delicious, easy to make, and quick!

If you are not familiar with farro, here’s what you need to know. Farro is known as “the mother of all wheat.” Organic farro grains are a good source of iron and plant-based protein - which is something I am all for! It is also an alternative to risotto.

Bob’s Red Mill organic farro grains are very lightly scratched, as is traditional, to allow for a faster cooking time and to encourage the release of their starches during cooking.

For this dish, you will need:

Bob’s Red Mill Organic Farro

Vegan Sausage (or your preferred choice of protein

Green bell pepper

Shallots

Green onions

Vegetable broth

Salt

Black Pepper

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Fresh parsley

Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

When making one-pot or one-skillet meals, I prefer to cook my vegan meat first and set it aside before adding all of the remaining ingredients to the skillet or pot. This helps ensure the “meat” does not soften while simmering with the other ingredients.

You may be wondering what does Bob’s Red Mill Organic Farro tastes like? Well, imagine larger pieces of brown or white rice and slightly chewy. It is so delicious and can be used in pasta salad, buddha bowls, as a side dish, and even risotto.
