Jenni's Italian Farro Pilaf image

This is a versatile dish. Substitute rice for farro if needed (though farro is worth hunting for) or add a pound of meat (diced chicken works well) to make this a main dish for 4.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup semi-pearled farro, rinsed
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
2 cups water
⅔ cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil with garlic, drained and chopped
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, cubed
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 pound yellow squash, cubed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring farro, chicken bouillon, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until farro is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain any excess water.
  • Cook and stir sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms with basil in a skillet over medium heat until mushrooms are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add squash and cook until tender, about 10 more minutes. Cook and stir farro with squash mixture until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle farro pilaf with Parmesan cheese.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The farro was mushy and the vegetables were burnt.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out way too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add some chopped nuts or seeds for a little extra crunch.

I love that this recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional pilaf. The farro added a nice nutty flavor and the vegetables were a great addition.
