This Thanksgiving, instead of your rich and heavy mashed potatoes try this Butternut Squash - Farro Pilaf, with its sweet notes of roasted squash and maple syrup and the tang of sherry vinegar and crumbled cheese. Farro is a type of wheat that originated in the fertile crescent and was even found in tombs of Egyptian kings!
