Fall flavors are in full swing, and this is one recipe worth bringing to the table!

California figs, pears, and walnuts come together in this Warm Fig, Pear & Walnut Farro, tossed with sautéed shallots, fresh basil, and a honey-balsamic Dijon dressing.

I love how simple seasonal ingredients can come together to create something so flavorful. It’s a wonderful dish for fall gatherings or even a cozy dinner at home!

Here’s how to make it:

1. Cook 1 cup of pearled farro in 3 cups of broth according to package directions, until tender but still slightly chewy. Drain and keep warm.
2. Whisk together 1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, ¼ tsp sea salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in 3 tbsp olive oil.
3. Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 thinly sliced shallot and 1 diced pear. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Add 6 quartered fresh figs and gently cook for another 1–2 minutes.
5. Toss the warm farro with about ¼ cup of dressing, then gently fold in the sautéed fruit, ⅓ cup toasted walnuts, and ¼ cup fresh basil.
6. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with reserved figs, pears, and walnuts, and finish with a drizzle of dressing.

I love when I work an event like the Fig Jam with @cagrownofficial at @cherrybombe Farmers and Makers because I get to experience the calm before the storm so to speak - take in all the beauty, see all of the planning come together, and do a little tasting before it’s time to welcome the guests.

This evening in Paso Robles will forever be a stand out in my mind as one of the most beautifully planned events I’ve ever attended. I mean - have you ever seen a butter tower that beautiful before?!

These pretty little babies!

From tree to something delicious! For the @cagrownoffical event we catered, we were given the most beautiful @cafigs to work with, and we had so much fun finding different ways to showcase them. We created chocolate covered dried figs finished with flaky salt and a grilled cheese station where guests could add fresh figs and homemade fig jam. We even jarred our own fig jam with a little help from my mom and a splash of Toublemaker Refresca wine! And can we talk about how gorgeous these figs were before we even started? The colors, patterns and textures were almost too pretty to touch.

Peep the process of taking them from right off the tree to a lineup of delicious treats!

Last weekend, Erin and I had the pleasure of working with California Grown alongside my dear friend K.C. and her phenomenal team! ❤️🌱
In celebration of the Year of the Woman Farmer, California Grown and Cherry Bombe put on an incredible event in Paso Robles, and I was so grateful to be a small part of it.
From start to finish, it was such a beautiful experience. Farmers, growers, chefs, bakers, vendors, and so many hardworking people came together to celebrate California agriculture and the incredible food grown right here in our state.
Living in California, especially in the Valley, we are surrounded by some of the BEST fruits and vegetables. Figs, prunes, fresh produce, and so much more. Through my friendship with K.C., I have learned so much about farming and just how much hard work, dedication, and love goes into growing the food that ends up on our tables. I have an even greater appreciation for our farmers because of it. ❤️
One of the events was held at the absolutely gorgeous Austin Hope Winery. What a beautiful setting to celebrate California agriculture and the people behind it!
And the PEOPLE! I met so many fabulous women and men who worked their butts off to make this event happen. 😂 We laughed, we learned, we ate some incredible food, and it was an absolute HOOT!
There were also so many wonderful vendors I didn't even get a chance to mention in my video, doing amazing things with baking, growing, creating, and bringing beautiful food to our communities.
If you ever get the opportunity to attend an event with California Grown or Cherry Bombe, DO IT! You will learn so much about where our food comes from and meet some pretty incredible people along the way.
I walked away with a full heart, a full belly 😂, and an even deeper appreciation for the hardworking people who feed us every single day. So grateful for this experience, and I can't wait to do it again! ❤️🌱
