Just want you to know that you are so popular in my town that I can’t buy Farro anywhere. This always happens when there is a recipe that is so good, oh well maybe I will try another if your recipes and wait until the farrobis replenished

I can't use the farro but using black rice or quinoa is ok. I use peanut butter, lime juice, low sodium soy or bragg aminos, maple syrup or local honey, and sesame seed oil, ginger, with some Sriracha or similar hot sauce for the dressing.

Please the recipe of the sauce, Tahina & yoghurt

What can I replace the Farro with? I puked it up once as a kid and I haven't been able to look at it the same.
