Perfect Farro Recipes
PERFECT FARRO
It's easy to fall in love with the chewy, nutty flavor of this wholesome wheat grain, but you may be hesitant to cook it at home due to its reputation for being tricky to prepare. This couldn't be further from the truth. The hardest part may be knowing which type of farro you've got - it comes in whole grain, semi-pearled (some of the bran is removed) and pearled (all of the bran is removed) - and this is not indicated on all packages. All types have slightly different cooking times and absorb different amounts of liquid, so the best route to perfectly cooked farro is to boil it like pasta and dress and season it after it's out of the pot. Toasting the farro in a skillet before boiling enhances its nutty flavor even more.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil with the bay leaves. Meanwhile, spread the farro in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Cook the farro, stirring with a wooden spoon, until lightly toasted, about 6 minutes. (The farro will darken a shade and smell nutty and fragrant.)
- Add the farro to the boiling water and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the grains are cooked through but still somewhat chewy, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the type of farro. Drain well and discard the bay leaves.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil or butter and toss to combine. If you are making the farro ahead, spread while hot on a baking sheet lined with parchment to stop the cooking as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

- Pressure Cooker Farro Risotto. Swap out the rice for farro in this simple and hearty risotto that tastes just as great as the original, but without all that stirring.
- Mushroom Wellington. Vegetarians will love this impressive-looking dish that packs tons of taste and nutrition into a pretty package. Leafy kale, nutty farro, sweet potato, mushrooms, and butternut squash bring a wonderful fall flavor that even avowed meat-eaters will want to get in on, no matter the time of year.
- Farro with Spice-Roasted Chickpeas and Cauliflower. This delicious vegetarian dish comes together quickly, especially if you prep with purpose. Coat chickpeas with some cumin, garlic, and smoked paprika then roast it with cauliflower and toss it all together with nutty farro.
- Farro Risotto. If you like risotto, try this easy and hearty recipe that tastes similar but doesn't require quite as much prep. Dried wild mushrooms give it an earthy depth of flavor and using farro instead of arborio rice has more toothsome texture than risotto traditionally does.
- Farro with Cumin-Roasted Carrots and Tahini. This Mediterranean dish has plenty of warming flavor thanks to a heavy dose of cumin and smoky roasted carrots.
- Farro Bread. Believe it or not, you can use farro to make a nutty, whole-grain bread that's great for sandwiches or all by itself with just a smear of butter.
