Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then farro. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until toasted and fragrant.
- Add 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered for 16-18 min, until farro is tender.
- Drain, then return farro to the pot, off heat.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, then stir until melted.
- Meanwhile, pat duck dry with paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.

- Flip and cook for 2-3 min, until golden.
- Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-13 min, until cooked through.**

- Thinly slice mushrooms.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- When farro is almost done, reheat the pan with reserved duck fat over medium-high.
- When hot, add onions. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly.
- Add mushrooms. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until softened. Season with 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
- Drizzle half the balsamic glaze over veggies. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until coated.
