Jenn: Thanks! You could try frozen baby lima beans or just omit the favas and bump up the peas and/or asparagus.

This is also something I made for my parents and it was AMAZING. I don’t like peas and didn’t want to go through hulling the fava beans (you lost me there ). So I doubled the asparagus and used white beans. Who knows where I got that, but it turned out great! It was better than regular risotto and so healthy! I had a hard time finding the farro (a helper at Whole Foods was uncharacteristically clueless and we ended up in the health and wellness area) but I’m so happy we were persistent because it was well worth it! I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I just featured this recipe in my latest blog post on my website: http://www.shar-on-nutrition. I enjoyed this recipe so much and like having an alternate grain for my risotto so it’s that much more healthy! Would love to hear your opinions or suggestions on my blog.

Farro is one of my favorite things and this dish looks like spring! I can’t wait to try this.

I am making a version of this tonight after being inspired by a recipe from FoodBlogga. However, I wanted to use farro because it is healthier than arborio rice. I found you from Tastespotting.com, which is one of my favorite sights. I love your pictures, and this recipe sounds DELICIOUS. Thanks for the inspiration:)

Amy: Thanks!

Diva: I have trouble picking favorites in the veggie department, but these three are up there.

Katy: I’ve been seeing rhubarb for a couple weeks. I went on a slight bender a couple weeks back … Here’s hoping you see favas soon!

Michelle: “So much protection for so little bean.” Well said.

Kevin: You know, I actually think I liked it better than traditional, arborio risotto. The tablespoon of greek yogurt really helped up the creaminess. Give it a try!

Farro risotto sounds pretty interesting.
