Wild Mushroom Farro
Ingredients
  • 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10 brown mushroom caps, diced
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 onion, diced small
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup pearled farro, rinsed, or more to taste
  • 3 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 2 tablespoons creme fraiche
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging the porcini mushrooms in a bowl and immersing them in warm water; allow them to rehydrate, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the water and chop them up.
2
Next, heat some olive oil in a cooking vessel over medium-high heat. Add the cremini mushrooms and a small amount of salt; sauté until they start to turn golden brown and the moisture evaporates, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the chopped porcini mushrooms and reduce the heat to a medium setting; cook and stir until they're hot through, 2 to 4 minutes.
3
Add the onion to the pot and cook and stir until it becomes translucent and develops a golden hue, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook and stir until it's fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
4
Stir in the farro and ensure that it's evenly coated with olive oil. Increase the heat to high. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and a small amount of salt; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
5
Increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth; bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the farro starts to become tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid; simmer, uncovered, until the farro reaches your desired level of tenderness, about 15 minutes more.
6
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in some crème fraîche and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Finally, stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese then serve.
