Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add soaked farro and stir until golden. Add the vinegar and cook a minute more. Have the chicken stock be warming in a pot on the stove next to you where you are working.

Start adding warm stock about ½ cup at a time, and cook until evaporated, continuing to add more stock until farro is cooked and tender. Half way through the stock, add in the mushrooms to the farro. Once farro is done, add the cheese, cream, butter, salt and pepper. Stir and serve warm garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
