Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups cooked farro
  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers I used a variety of color, red and yellow
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup corn kernels preferably fresh, cut from the cob (but frozen or canned will work)

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • ¼ - ½ cup toasted pine nuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet; add the butter. When the butter melts add the peppers and onions, sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
