Savory Skillet-Roasted Pears with Mushrooms, Farro, and Walnuts
This is a great option for Meatless Monday. Actually, a one-pan entrée of roasted pears with a savory stuffing is a good idea any night of the week. You can choose the variety of mushrooms, and switch out the whole grain to use up whatever is in your pantry. Simplicity is the name of the game. Serve the pears with a hearty green salad—perhaps kale, radicchio, or arugula tossed with lemon and olive oil—and you have a complete meal on the table in 45 minutes.
