There are many different ways to prepare farro, and it can be used in a variety of dishes including soups, salads, and main courses.

Advice

Farro is a delicious and nutritious ancient grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. When cooking farro, it's important to rinse it thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. Make sure to use plenty of water when cooking farro, as it will absorb a lot of it. For best results, cook farro in a pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally. Cook it until it's just tender, not mushy. Once done, drain the farro, and fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy the nutty flavor of farro in salads, soups, pasta dishes, and more!
