Farro with Sausage and Apples

We bought 10-minute Farro from Trader Joe`s and tried this recipe which the boys liked.

Half a cup of TJ`s 10 Minute Farro, boiled in broth
3 sweet Italian Chicken sausages, casings removed (I used vegetarian Italian sausage)
1 tbsp butter, if needed
1 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 large apple, diced small
Salt and pepper, to taste
Red chili flakes, to taste.

Prepare farro by combining half a cup farro and 1 cup water or broth in a sauce pan with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid. Fluff with fork and set aside.

In a large skillet over high heat, crumble sausage and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside, keep sausage drippings. If pan is too dry, add butter and melt. Add onion, garlic ad apple; saute until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add farro and sausage back to skillet; season to taste with salt, pepper and chili flakes; stir until warned through, about 1-2 minutes more. Serve warm.
