Ingredients
- 4 cups of water
- 1 cup uncooked farro (whole, pearled, or semi-pearled)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (parsley or herbs of choice (optional))
Steps
-
In a medium-large sauce pan, bring the water to a boil over high heat.
-
Rinse the farro. Place farro in a mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until water runs clear.
-
Once the water is boiling, add farro and stir to combine. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until farro is tender and chewy (15-20 minutes for pearled farro, 20-30 for semi-pearled, or 40 for whole farro). The farro will be al dente.
-
Drain farro. Drain away the excess water and then return the farro to saucepan. Fluff with a fork. Top with herbs as desired.
-
If you are using whole farro, you can soak for a few hours/overnight. Place farro in a bowl/pot and enough water to cover the grain, then cover with a lid. Refrigerate and soak for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
-
Cook as directed above, however, this method will only require 10-15 minutes of simmering.
