A Tempranillo from Ribero del Duero in Spain will have the power & flavour to match fantastically.
Nigel's Top Tips- Oil your meat, not your pan.
- This dish should be served while the venison is warm, or at least room temp.
- Soark the farro overnight before cooking in salted boiling water, unless using quick cook farro.
- Chef Vatteroni says, "use good quality cooked chickpeas (Spanish) for a creamer texture.
