Mushroom Farrotto
Ingredients
- 1 cup Farro
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 10 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms
- 1/2 Shallot, diced
- 1/2 cup White Wine (I'm using Pinot Grigio)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Parsley for Garnish
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of farro into a blender and pulse 8-9 times. This is just to crack the surface so the it will absorb the broth better and become creamy.
- Prep your ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms, Dice the shallot.
- Into a saute pan, add olive oil and shallot and saute until translucent. Add in mushrooms and saute for a few mins before adding the salt and pepper.
- Warm up your broth in a pot and keep it near your pan as you prepare the farrotto.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the farro and toast them for a minute or so. Then deglaze the pan with white wine. Cook out the alcohol.
- With the flame on medium, add a ladle full of broth at a time, stir occasionally and once the broth is mostly absorbed add more. Continue to do this until the farro is cooked to your liking. This process takes about 25 - 30 mins.
- Once the farrotto is ready, add in butter and Parmigiano and stir to combine.
- ***Optionally, you can top it with a variety of seared mushrooms, if you are feeling fancy!
- Serve with more grated Parmigiano and a sprinkle of fresh parsley and enjoy!
