Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 1/4 cups pearled farro
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium turnip, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus the chopped greens

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 25 minutes; drain.

Add the farro and crushed red pepper to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and serve warm.

ITALIAN FARRO WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES



Italian Farro with Sausage and Apples image

Notes: Farro, a wheatlike grain, makes a delicious alternative to cracked wheat, rice, and similar side-dish carbs with meats, poultry, and fish. Cooked with sausage, then mixed with diced apples for a sweet crunch, farro makes a savory side dish for roast chicken.

Provided by wp

Yield Makes about 6 cups; 4 to 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup hulled whole-grain farro
3/4 cup bulk pork sausage (about 3 oz.) or pork sausages, casings removed
Butter or olive oil (if needed)
2 1/2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
1 cup finely chopped parsley
1 Fuji apple (8 oz.)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Sort farro, discarding strawlike bits of hulls and other debris. Pour farro into a bowl, cover completely with cool water, stir, and skim off and discard any additional hulls that float to the surface. Drain farro.
  • In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, crumble sausage with a spoon and stir often until browned, about 5 minutes. Spoon out and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat or, if necessary, add butter to equal 1 tablespoon fat in pan. Add farro to sausage in pan and stir until grains are dried, about 2 minutes.
  • Add broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover pan, and simmer (mixture foams, so check and stir occasionally to keep it from boiling over) until farro is tender to bite and no longer tastes starchy, about 25 minutes. Stir in parsley, cover, remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and core apple; cut into about 1/4-inch dice and mix with lemon juice. Stir into farro, season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour into a bowl.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Instant Pot     Pressure Cooker     Leek     Sausage     Green Onion/Scallion     White Wine     Thyme     Radish     Lemon     Dinner     Spring

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large or 6 small leeks, white and pale-greens parts only
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 fully cooked spicy Italian sausage links (about 12 oz.), sliced crosswise into 1/3"-thick rounds
1 large bunch scallions (about 10)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup farro
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs thyme
Thinly sliced radishes, peperoncini, and lemon wedges (for serving)
Special Equipment
An electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot

Steps:

  • Preheat cooker on "Sauté" setting. Trim roots off leeks and remove and discard tough outer layers, then cut leeks into 1/3"-thick rounds. Rinse well, then pat dry.
  • When pressure cooker is hot, pour 1 Tbsp. oil into insert, then add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in places, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, separate white and light green parts of scallions from dark green parts. Cut white and light green parts into 1/4"-thick rounds. Finely chop dark green parts and set aside for serving.
  • Add leeks and scallion white and light green parts to pressure cooker and stir to coat in oil. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is reduced by half and no longer smells like alcohol, about 1 minute. Add farro, salt, pepper, thyme, and 2 1/2 cups water and stir to combine, then turn off cooker.
  • Lock on lid, making sure steam-release valve is in the proper sealed position. Select "Manual" and program for 3 minutes at high pressure.
  • As soon as the time has elapsed, turn off cooker, "Quick Release" the steam, and unlock lid.
  • Divide farro mixture among bowls. Top with radishes, peperoncini, and reserved scallion greens. Drizzle with oil and squeeze lemons over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right farro: Semi-pearled or pearled farro are best for this recipe as they cook faster and have a softer texture.
  • Use good quality sausage: Italian sausage or breakfast sausage are both good choices. Make sure it is fully cooked before adding it to the farro.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and apples, make sure to do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the ingredients from browning properly.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add more herbs, spices, or salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Farro with sausage and apples is best served immediately, while the farro is still warm and the apples are still crisp.

Conclusion:

This farro with sausage and apples recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
