Farro-Stuffed Acorn Squash

This elegant and unusual stuffed squash makes for a great side dish to roasted meats. Or enjoy it served alone as a hearty vegetarian meal that's as flavorful and filling as it is pretty. Note that this recipe calls for cooked farro, so if you don't have some of this versatile grain stashed in the fridge, allow an additional half hour to prepare it, or start cooking a pot of farro as per package instructions when you put the squash in the oven to roast. Delightfully firm, plump and characteristically chewy, farro's nutty flavor will stand up well to the sweetness of the apple and earthy acorn squash and leeks.
