Great as an entree. I made this exactly to the recipe. It was delicious! Hearty, full of flavor and wonderfully chewy (in a good way). Suggestions: 1) This could be a 30 minute meal if you take the time to soak the faro ahead of time. I soaked the faro for an hour the evening before, drained it, and stored it in the 'fridge. 2) To serve as a stand alone entree, I would increase the amount of mushrooms and spinach. Enjoy!
