Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat and keep it warm.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Toast the Farro

    Stir in the farro and cook for about 1-2 minutes to toast it lightly.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the farro to absorb most of the broth before adding more. This process should take about 25-30 minutes until the farro is tender and creamy.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Once the farro is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the mushroom farrotto warm, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan if desired.
