Farro With Sausage & Apples - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 7/8 ounces cracked farro
3 chicken sausage, remove casings
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup diced onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 large apple, diced small
salt and pepper, to taste
red chili pepper flakes, to taste

Preparation

Cook farro per package instructions. I put 1 part farro to 2 parts broth or water into a rice cooker and let it work. Takes my rice cooker about 15-20 minutes to complete.
In a large skillet over high heat, crumble sausage and stir until browned, about 5 minutes.
Remove sausage and set aside, keep sausage drippings.
If pan is too dry, add butter and melt. Add onion, garlic and apple; saute until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Add farro and sausage back to skillet; season to taste with salt, pepper and chili flakes; stir until warmed through, about 1 or 2 minutes more.
Serve warm with a green salad.
