Grilled Coriander Poussin with Farro Verde, Roasted Carrots and Chioggia Beets
Chef Billy Allin loves to cook poussin in the spring as its delicate flavor works well with the season’s first vegetables like tiny carrots and beets. Farro verde is a delicious grain that is available from Anson Mills. Its slightly smoky taste is delicious with this grilled poussin. If you can’t find farro verde, substitute regular farro.
