Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
