Test Kitchen Notes
This used to be in level of fact tasty. I in particular cherished the salad and the dressing—but it wasn’t enough meals for it to be a critical dish for me. There used to be fully one delicata squash at the market (and I was checking out two recipes which worn delicata), so I made up my mind to also come by a butternut squash to gaze if it tasted better/worse/similar. The delicata used to be, by far, the greater alternative. The flavors worked in level of fact effectively collectively, and the recipe used to be also surprisingly snappily to fabricate. By the time the squash used to be carried out roasting and the farro cooked, the the rest of the substances had been chopped up and ready to be tossed! —Victoria Ross
