Perfect Farro
From The Kitchen · a prep-ahead staple
A Set-the-Week staple — make once, eat all week.
Farro is one of my favorite grains. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a wonderful chewy texture that makes any bowl more satisfying.

Gina's tip
Use broth instead of water for extra flavor.
Coach's Note
Cook the grain once, eat it three ways. A pot of farro on Sunday is the foundation half your lunches are built on.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
