Description

This hearty, earthy, and deeply satisfying Farro Mushroom recipe is a plant-based twist on comfort food. Nutty farro, savory mushrooms, and fresh herbs combine for a nutritious and flavorful dish.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup whole-grain farro

2 1/2 cups vegetable broth

2 tbsp olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster)

1 tsp thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: splash of apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp tahini, shaved almonds for garnish


Instructions

1. Rinse farro under running water. Set aside to drain.

2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent.

3. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in sliced mushrooms and thyme. Sauté until mushrooms are golden and most moisture evaporates—about 8–10 minutes.

4. Stir in farro. Toast 1–2 minutes to enhance its nutty aroma.

5. Pour in broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes until farro is al dente and liquid absorbed.

6. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. For creaminess, stir in a spoonful of tahini or drizzle extra olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs or toasted almonds.

7. Serve hot or warm.

Notes

You can swap shallots for onion or use mushroom broth for added umami. Leftovers are perfect for grain bowls or casseroles. Batch-cook and freeze for easy meals.
