  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup or more pistachios or your favorite nuts
  • 1/4 cup or more dried fruits or fresh fruits

Method
 

Steps
  1. Place the farro in a fine-gap mesh colander and rinse with water until water runs clear.
  2. Boil water and salt in a medium saucepan.
  3. Stir in farro. Make sure the farro is completely submerged in the water.
  4. Reduce heat to medium low to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cover and cook until chewy and water absorbed. Exact cooking time can vary depending on the type of farro you use. Read instructions on box. Cooking time can be anywhere from 15-30 minutes.
  6. Check the texture every 5 to 10 minutes. You want it to have a little crunch to it.
  7. If your farro is done before all the water is absorbed. Drain excess water and serve warm.
  8. Top the warm farro with your favorite nuts and fruits.
  9. Drizzle with maple syrup.
