Step 1

Measure 1 and 1/2 cups farro into a fine mesh sieve and rinse with cold water. Drain.

Transfer to a medium sized pot that has a lid. Add 4 cups water or stock or a combination of both and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until it is softened but still chewy. If there is liquid remaining in the pot, drain it off or save it to add to a soup, stew or sauce.

Step 4

Use a fork to gently fluff in the butter or olive oil, if using.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Fill a kettle with water and bring it to a boil.
