How To Cook Farro

Ingredients

3 servings

Instructions

  1. Heat the water over high heat in a saucepan until it is boiling.
  2. 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.
  3. Drain the farro completely through a fine-mesh strainer.
  4. Fluff the farro with a fork.  Taste, and season with extra salt if needed.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
