Once in a while, I try a new dish and overnight become obsessed with finding out the recipe. So it was after I tried Stacy Lauer’s farro salad with pomegranate and sausage several months ago at a Remodelista Dinner. Stacy, who is not prone to answering e-mails with any speed, proved quite elusive, so when she swung by one of our Remodelista Markets, I cornered her with a pen and paper and begged for the recipe. She kindly obliged. Like many good things, it is surprisingly simple.

Ingredients:
1 cup farro
2 cups chicken stock
2 T fresh thyme
2 Andouille sausages
1 lb fava beans
Cook the farro in the chicken stock. Chop and sauté the sausage with the thyme. Blanch the fava beans and remove the skin, leaving only the tender inner beans. Toss all the ingredients together and season with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
