Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Whole-grain farro will not work very well using this method, so double-check to make sure that the farro you use is labeled “semi-pearled” (or look for pale spots or abrasions on the grain).
-
Step 2.
Proceed as for Risotto, using 2 cups semi-pearled farro instead of rice. You will likely need to use all 8 cups broth.
