Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup farro rinsed, uncooked
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot half full of water and bring to a boil. Add the farro, reduce the heat and simmer until the farro is tender, chewy, but still has an al dente bite - 15 to 20 minutes for pearled farro; 20 to 30 minutes for semi-pearled farro; up to 40 minutes for whole farro.
  2. Drain, fluff with a fork, and then spread onto a large plate or sheet pan to cool and dry for 20 minutes. This keeps it from continuing to steam which makes it mushy.

Notes

  • Rinse the farro well before cooking under cold running water.
  • Add the farro to boiling water, not cold water, so that it cooks through evenly.
  • Taste the farro before draining. It should be tender and chewy but still have a little bite to it.
