Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) walnuts, toasted
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 garlic clove
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups farro
3/4 cup (1/2 ounce) dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup dry white wine
5 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 ounce) for garnish

Steps:

  • To make pesto, pulse walnuts in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper, and process. With machine running, pour in oil, and puree.
  • To make risotto, bring farro, mushrooms, wine, and 2 cups stock to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Continue to cook, stirring and adding stock 1/2 cup at a time, waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. It should take 20 to 25 minutes. Stir 1/3 cup pesto into risotto. Top with Parmesan and remaining pesto.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of farro. But I'm so glad I did! The farro was cooked perfectly and had a great texture. The porcini mushrooms added a lovely flavor as well.

This risotto was delicious and easy to make. I used dried porcini mushrooms, which I soaked in hot water for 30 minutes before adding them to the dish. The flavor was incredible.
