What a crock!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons — the chill, the boots, the excuse to eat food from a crock pot. So this weekend, we went to Goodwill, and bought a West Bend vintage crock pot — so cute.  Here is my fiance Ken’s newest — delicious creation.

Cassole of Farro & Chicken Sausage

  • 1 cup of Farro
  • 1/2 cup white beans
  • 14 oz chicken sausage
  • 3/4 butternut squash cubed
  • 3 small onions
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon of sage

Directions:

  1. Brown sausage and butternut squash in a deep fry pan.  Toss in sage & marjoram . Cook until browned (they don’t have to be cooked through). Throw browned squash and sausage into crock pot.
  2. In the same browning pan, caramelize 3 small onions along with thyme. Throw it into the crock pot.
  3. Put Farro, chicken broth, and white beans into crock pot.  Pinch of salt & pepper.
  4. Cook for three hours on medium or high.

Enjoy.
