Farro Breakfast Pudding With Dates and Cardamom

plant milk

water

vanilla

tsp cardamom

farro,

In a medium saucepan heat the milk and water over high heat. Once boiling add the vanilla, cardamom, farro and dates. Stir and return to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove the lid, and stir the farro for 3 to 5 minutes. This will release more of the starch and thicken the pudding. Remove from heat and serve.

My husband doesn’t like dates so we substituted 1/2 cup raisins and it was excellent but not very creamy.

I made this with half as many dates but soaked them in 1 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes then used an immersion blender to make a hot water/date paste and used this as one of the cups of water in the recipe.  After it cooked I added chopped pecans and man did this taste like pecan pie/pecan cobbler.  So delicious! My 9 year old ate it for dessert. Will definitely make again.

Easy and so delicious. Stays well in the fridge so that I have breakfast all week. Really enjoying this recipe!

Wow!  Great breakfast or dessert option.  I think the sweetness is spot on if you don't like it overly sweet.  I served this as a dessert and some people chose to add a touch of maple syrup with nuts, others chose a homemade fruit compote to top it with.  My husband and friend, who don't like things too sweet, ate it as is and were super happy with it.  I read an earlier comment that said it was too sweet.  I'm thinking they must have used candied or sweetened dates.  Plain, unsweetened medjool dates work perfect.  Thanks for this wonderful recipe!!

Delicious! Only recently discovered Farro &amp; this tasty recipe is my 1st time using Cardamom. Simple, wholesome &amp; fairly quick. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, this is great! I did 2 cups plant based (coconut milk) and 1 cup water, because why not? 😂 I didn’t have vanilla extract so I added about 7 sprigs of saffron. Cardamom and saffron are a classic combination and with the dates? Excellent. Mixing at the end is key for good texture. 

I tried making breakfast like this in my Instant Pot and think the consistency of heat was worth the extra time. Thanks!

I tried this morning, I used what I had (almond milk was bad so opened up some coconut milk instead) I used nutmeg and cinnamon along with some raisins and a few dates.  Also when I rinsed the farro I allowed it to soak a little in the water while waiting for the liquid to boil.  Absolutely delicious.

i love the texture but too datey -- and wow dates are sweet!  next time I think I'll try another fruit - or no fruit and add the fruit after cooking.

Beautiful and delicious.  Thanks for the inspiration!
