This recipe comes from the ATK Just Add Sauce cookbook…the star of the show, naturally, is the tahini sauce. It’s actually a farro dish that I tweaked to make gluten free using quinoa instead.  And then to make it a more caloric meal, I added chicken.

The only appliances that get face time in the kitchen are the coffee maker and now the instant pot.  Truth be told, I’d prefer the IP to be hidden away too, but it’s so big and I just don’t… Read more >
