Roasted Butternut Squash with Farro and Chickpeas
This dish was inspired by one of our favorite restaurants in London
called Moro. It&apos;s simple and flavorful, and the tahini brings a nice
kick to the dish.Jan 13, 2006

<RecipeText>Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425º. In a large bowl, toss butternut squash
cubes with garlic, allspice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and some salt
and pepper. Leave in the bowl for 5 minutes to let seasonings
penetrate. Place on a baking sheet and roast until soft and slightly
caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

2. Rinse faro in a bowl and remove any floating bits. In a pot,
combine faro with 1 tablespoon salt and cool water to cover. Bring
to a boil and cook until faro is soft—about 10 minutes after it
comes to boil. Drain and rinse under running water to stop the
cooking.

3. Make the tahini sauce: Finely chop garlic. Sprinkle coarse salt
over chopped garlic, then press garlic with the flat side of a
chef’s knife. The salt will grind the garlic into a paste under the
knife. Mix crushed garlic with lemon juice and tahini paste. Thin
with a little water and olive oil. Taste for seasoning. The sauce
should be very bright and flavorful. If it isn’t, add tahini and/or
lemon juice to spruce it up.

4. In a large pot, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and bring to
medium heat. Add chopped tomatoes with juices and cook for 1 minute.
Add butternut squash, faro, and chickpeas; stir until heated
through. Remove from heat and add red onion, cilantro, and chili
pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve on plates, with
tahini sauce and fresh olive oil drizzled over each portion.

Notes:
Faro is an old-fashioned grain, used to make spelt flour. Look for
it in specialty and health food stores.
