📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add 8 oz. mushrooms (such as crimini or white button), sliced, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. (Mushrooms will steam at first, but then start to brown and crisp.) Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Mix in 1 medium sweet potato, peeled, cut into ½" pieces, 2 cups pearled or semi-pearled farro, rinsed, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; season with more black pepper. Pour in 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth and 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, adding more liquid (up to 1 cup) if needed and reducing heat if farro starts to stick, until farro is cooked through and mixture is the consistency of a loose porridge, 40–⏱️ 50 minutes. Taste farrotto and season with more salt and black pepper if needed.
