1 cup dried cranberries reconstituted with 1 cup cranberry juice (reconstitute means to bring it to a boil and then turn off heat) 2 cups leeks, sauteed in butter for 10 mins 1 cup spiced pecans chopped slightly (check out this recipe below) 1 quart cooked farro (cooks kind of like rice; the ratio is 2 parts water to 1 part farro) 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2/3 cup raspberry vinaigrette (Chef made her own, but you could buy this) Mix & season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature Spiced Pecans: 2 egg whites 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cayenne 2 tablespoons paprika 2 teaspoons Worcestershire 4 1/2 cup pecans Whisk egg whites until soft peaks appear.
