Ingredients

3 servings

1 cup uncooked farro, rinsed and drained
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps

Heat the water over high heat in a saucepan until it is boiling.
Add the farro, salt (plus any optional aromatics, see below) and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook the farro until it is chewy and tender — approximately 15 to 20 minutes for pearled farro, 25 to 30 minutes for semi-pearled farro, or 35 to 40 minutes for whole farro.
Drain the farro completely through a fine-mesh strainer.
Fluff the farro with a fork. Taste, and season with extra salt if needed.
Serve and enjoy!
