Course Side Dish
Cuisine Italian
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups dry farro
  • 1 can vegetable broth about 14 oz.
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cloves chopped garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the farro in a fine strainer.
  • Bring the water and vegetable broth to a boil in a medium to large sized saucepan.
  • When the water is boiling, add the rinsed farro. Let it cook for 20 minutes (or according to package directions.)
  • Meanwhile, sauté the sliced mushrooms and garlic in a 10 inch skillet with a little oil.
  • Once the mushrooms reach desired doneness, add the spinach to the skillet. It will quickly wilt and cook down. Turn the heat off on the skillet.
  • When the farro is fully cooked and a little chewy, drain the extra liquid like you would with pasta.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms, garlic and spinach to the farro and stir to combine. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Makes 6 servings.
