Method
Preparation
Prepare the Farro
Rinse the farro under cold water and drain. Set aside.
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer. Keep it warm over low heat.
Cooking
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
Cook the Farro
Stir in the rinsed farro and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to toast slightly.
Incorporate the Broth
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the farro to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process until the farro is tender and creamy, which should take about 30-35 minutes.
Add Spinach and Season
Once the farro is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
