pia, unfortunately I did not. Purchased it on a trip abroad. It’s fairly abundant in Italy, and harder to find in places like the U.S.

Joanie, roasted beets sounds like another great addition. I suspect roasted peppers would also be a nice addition… atbnorge, I know what you mean, I didn’t eat dinuguan for many many years as a result of childhood incident. :(

i love farro salad, especially during summer. I normally use the ingredients you mentioned above except for the chopped marinated artichokes and put roasted beets instead. But will definitely try artichoke next time

I am a chicken when it comes to eating duck and yet I like balot (maybe because I euphemise it as eating an egg). I had a pet black duck with the white stripe on the neck when I was a kid. It followed me everywhere I went. Then one day, it disappeared. Mother just said maybe some bad dog ate it. I never thought Dak-Dak would have been that delicious “chicken” dish we ate roundabout the day my pet disappeared. Up to now, I still can’t stomach the idea of eating duck. I have just about all the ingredients above, including the flat leaf parsley because the plant hasn’t wilted after the few nights of frost. I’ll pass the duck and go for turkey. This can be a very nice Sunday lunch.

That looks great. I love the duck confit too. Mr MM, where do you buy your farro?

I see that you’re also curious, adventurous and an explorer when it comes to food just like me. Have you tried “Quinoa” (pronounced —keen-wa). They say this grain is high in protein and fiber but low on carbs. This will be good for anybody wathching their diet.

Btw, this is my first time to hear about farro. You can bet that I will be checking on it.
