Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of farro, 4 cups of vegetable broth, and prepare 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 cups of sliced mushrooms. Also, have 1/2 cup of white wine, 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper ready. Chop some fresh parsley for garnish.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process, as you will be adding it to the farro later.
- In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and browned.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the farro to the skillet. Stir well to combine the farro with the mushrooms and onion mixture, allowing the farro to toast slightly for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until it is mostly absorbed by the farro. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the skillet, one ladleful at a time. Stir frequently and allow the farro to absorb the broth before adding more. Continue this process for about 25 minutes, or until the farro is tender but still has a slight bite to it (al dente).
- Once the farro is cooked to your liking, stir in the nutritional yeast, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the farrotto rest for a couple of minutes. This will help the flavors meld together.
- To serve, spoon the mushroom farro risotto into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious Mushroom Farro Risotto!
Tips
- To ensure your Mushroom Farro Risotto turns out perfectly, keep the following tips in mind: * Make sure to warm your vegetable broth before adding it to the farro, as this will help the cooking process and prevent the farro from becoming mushy. * Stir frequently when adding the broth to the farro, as this will help the farro absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too sticky. * Don't overcook the farro - it should still have a slight bite to it (al dente) when finished. * Let the Farrotto rest for a couple of minutes before serving, as this will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. * Experiment with different types of mushrooms and vegetables to make the recipe your own and add your personal touch.
