instant pot farro

This Instant Pot farro recipe comes out perfectly tender and chewy every time! It's a totally hands off method for cooking this whole grain.

Instant Pot Farro

farro

water

salt

*If serving as a side, season with garlic and herbs

Add the farro, water, and salt to the Instant Pot and stir. Lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Place the pressure release handle (vent) in the “Sealing” position.

Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes

Press the Pressure Cook button, making sure the “High Pressure” setting is selected, and set the time. Note that it takes about 5 minutes for the pot to “preheat” and come up to pressure before it starts cooking. (During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.)

Natural release for 7 minutes

After the Instant Pot beeps, set a timer and wait to let the Instant Pot naturally release pressure. Then vent any remaining steam by moving the vent to “Venting”, covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. Never put your hands or face near the vent when releasing steam. (The pressure indicator in the lid may drop on its own during this time, meaning that there is no remaining steam in the pot.)

Open the lid and drain off any excess water. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Easy, no-fuss Instant Pot Farro cooks without any hands-on time needed, simple add to the instant bowl, set the timer and cook, freeing up space on the stovetop!
