Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces cremini or mixed mushrooms, sliced
2 leeks, green parts and roots removed, halved lengthwise, then sliced into half moons and soaked in cold water to remove grit
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup farro, rinsed
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

Heat a 3 1/2-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and all of the water cooks out, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the leeks. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the leeks, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and cook 1 more minute. Add the farro to the pan and stir to coat the grains in the oil and toast slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and stir. Cook the farro, stirring occasionally, until the wine evaporates almost completely, about 8 minutes. Add the broth in 1-cup increments, cooking until the liquid almost completely evaporates before adding the next increment; this will take about 45 minutes to complete. Remember to stir often to create a creamy texture.
When the farro is tender and absorbs almost all of the liquid, stir in the mushrooms, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano and butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted in and the mixture is creamy. Stir in the peas at the last minute and serve.

Categories side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup farro
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups assorted wild mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, wood ear), cleaned and roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium chicken stock, warmed
1/2 cup diced rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

Place the farro in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to par-cook the farro, and then drain and set aside.
In a heavy-based pot, add the butter and oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots and saute until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine. Add the drained farro and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock to the pot a little at a time, ensuring at each addition that the liquid has been completely absorbed by the farro. Keep stirring and adding the stock until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the Parmesan, sour cream and parsley.
