Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 3 cups water
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste

- Place the water, salt, butter, and farro into a pot. Bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the farro to simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Check the doneness of the farro but giving it a taste test. If it's undercooked, let it simmer for a couple of more minutes and test it again. Once it's fully-cooked, drain the water, add the butter, and stir to combine.
