Ingredients

2 tablespoons brandy or cognac
2 cups farro
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce), plus a small piece of rind
1 cup grated gruyere cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the brandy and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the farro, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the farro is coated, 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups water, the bay leaf and the parmesan rind. Bring to a boil, then stir in the grated parmesan.
Transfer the mixture to a 1 1/2-quart flameproof baking dish, cover with foil and bake until most of the liquid is absorbed and the farro is tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven; discard the bay leaf and parmesan rind. Continue baking, uncovered, until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with the grated gruyere; turn on the broiler and broil until melted and golden brown in spots, about 1 minute. Top with the parsley.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup farro
half an onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
10 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon salt
a few stalks of kale, stems removed, chopped into small pieces (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup olive oil (optional, but makes it a bit more luscious)
red pepper flakes
fresh basil
Parmesan
chicken, meatballs, or a fried egg

Steps:

Add water, farro, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and salt to a medium sized saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Add the kale. Simmer, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.
Stir in the olive oil, and... you're done! The farro should be chewy but soft, and there will be just the slightest amount of really delicious brothiness left in the pan. Top with your favorite things - I highly recommend the Parmesan and the red pepper flakes. It's almost too simple and too good to be true.
