📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the farro and until tender but not mushy, 15 to ⏱️ 25 minutes, depending on the farro. (They vary, so check the packaging for a more specific time range). Drain and spread on a plate to dry and drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking. Chill until ready to use. The farro can be made ahead.
