Farrotto Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm on low heat.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the Farro

   Add the farro to the skillet and stir for about 2 minutes to coat the grains. Then, gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the farro to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process for about 25-30 minutes until the farro is tender but still has a slight bite.

4. 4

   Add the Vegetables

   When the farro is almost done, add the seasonal vegetables to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5. 5

   Finish with Creaminess

   Once the farro and vegetables are cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and creamy. Add the pecorino romano cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve warm, garnished with additional pecorino romano if desired.
