Classic Louisiana gets the perfect flour by swapping rice for farro. Farro is a great cereal choice for vegetarians because it has about 6 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, plus 3 grams of fiber. Vegetarian sausage adds a hearty and strong flavor to this easy dinner. You’ll find them next to tofu in grocery stores, usually in the refrigerated section of the produce section.

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (180g) farro, dry
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

- 1 (14.5 oz./411 g) unsalted diced tomatoes, dehydrated.
- 2 books
- 2 Italian sausages made from wood, sliced

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and when hot, add onion, bell pepper. Cook until the onion and bell pepper are soft, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the farro, paprika, salt, oregano and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until spices and farro are fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add spinach, tomatoes and watercress; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the farro is soft, about 15 minutes. Add sausage; cover and cook until sausage is heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
