Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute dry hard cider for dry white wine.

    Flavors were good, and the dish wasn’t hard to put together on a weeknight. Our pack of chicken thighs only had four, so I added some chicken drumsticks as well. I wasn’t sure if it was the extra chicken, but it was very soupy at the end of the 45 minutes. I brought it to a boil as instructed, but some of the farro started to stick to the pan and overcook. I agree with others that I’d increase the farro next time.

    Tasty dish, pretty easy for a weeknight. I thought the proportion of farro to chicken could have been higher. Next time I think I’ll increase the farro components by about half again as much.

    Not mind-blowing, but a tasty, solid recipe that is easy to put together. Mine was a bit soupy, but served with bread for mopping that up - best part!
