📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the dry, uncooked farro to a pot and stir and cook over medium heat for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes to toast the farro. This will increase the nutty flavor.
2
Once toasted, add about 3 cups water, or enough to cover the farro by a few inches, as well as ⅛ tsp salt. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the water to come up to a boil.

Once the water reaches a boil, turn the heat down to low and let the farro simmer for ⏱️ 20-30 minutes. Start testing the tenderness of the farro around ⏱️ 20 minutes. If you prefer your farro more tender, let it simmer less. If you prefer it softer, let it simmer longer.
