Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 shallots, diced
14 ounces farro or wheat berries
3 cups Chianti Classico wine
2 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot; add the shallots. Saute the shallots until they are translucent. Add the farro, stir and lightly toast and coat with the butter. Add 1 cup Chianti and let it reduce completely, stirring constantly.
  • Ladle 1/2 cup vegetable stock at a time into the farro. Continue stirring, adding more vegetable stock as it evaporates. Repeat the process until the stock is gone.
  • Continue the process using the remainder of the wine. Cook for another 12 to 15 minutes or until the farro is al dente.
  • Stir in the grated Parmigiano cheese and the remaining butter. Transfer the risotto to a warm bowl and serve immediately.
