Hey, I am a regular reader of your blog, and have been planning to make this dish. I just adore whole grains and squash. Anyways, I was browsing serious eats this morning and there was a picture of this recipe with a link to your blog!

Good luck with the goat cheese tarts, I voted for you.

This sounds so yummy, a perfect hangover cure!
And I’m with you about pancetta, it does make everything taste better.
I too am obsessed with Fall ingredients I love this time of year!

Thanks for the tip about smoked paprika and the heightening of squashes. Have to try that sometime. I still have a buttercup in the pantry.

And I love the cardamom pecans!

Amanda – Good! I hate baking :)

maggie – You can sub cinnamon for the cardamom and it’ll be just as tasty!

Peggasus – i LOVE when I have all the ingredients I need! As for protein, simple pan-cooked turkey cutlets would be good (and in keeping with the fall theme!), pork chops would be yummy too, or even some kielbasa or tukey kielbasa.

I actually have all those ingredients! I know! I bought two butternut squashes (2/$1) when I went to get my apples at the local orchard yesterday here in East Central Illinois (yes, it is as exciting as it sounds), the farro and pancetta and cardamom I have from my latest trip up to Chicagoland, and the smoked paprika I purchased when I was in Portland, OR in May. Sage is still in my garden, and I have agave too! I KNOW! Yay!

This alone would be totally enough for me, but my husband and two sons may like some protein with this. Chicken wouldn’t be right, right? Beef? Doesn’t sound good either. Pork maybe? Some kind of sausage?

I’m with you. All autumn all the time. Though I made stuffing last night, meaning to blog it, and added way too much liquid and it was NO good.

This looks lovely—I don’t usually keep cardamom around but it sounds yummy in this!
