We liked this recipe. I was looking for something that I could use for 5 leftover lamb chops and this was perfect. I made small cubes of meat from what I cut off the chops. Since my lamb was already cooked I just cooked the dish until the farro was tender. I didn't have green beans so I used some thawed edamame. I think the green beans would have been better so I don't recommend that change. Otherwise, it was a good solid recipe.
