Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Ghee or cooking oil
  • 1 cup farro
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 100 g mushrooms diced
  • 2 cup hot liquid chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water
  • 400 g mushroom sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon parsley or dill

Instructions

  • Rinse the farro under cool water, then soak for at least 1-hour. Drain well.
  • Heat olive oil or ghee in a wide sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the diced mushrooms and cook until browned and fragrant.
  • Add the drained farro and stir to coat with oil and flavor. Pour in hot broth or water, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook on low for 35–45 minutes, or until the farro is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • In a separate pan, heat a little oil and sauté the remaining mushrooms until evenly browned. Let them fully coat in oil for rich flavor.
  • Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
  • Fluff the cooked farro with a fork and transfer to a serving platter. Arrange the sautéed mushrooms around the edges and serve warm.
