Farro-and-Sausage Parmigiano


In this clever slow cooker dish, farro gets simmered with tomatoes and sausage until thick and hearty, then broiled with fresh mozzarella and Parmesan. A quick and simple topping of lemon and herbed panko gives it the perfect crunchy finish.

Sunchoke-Kale Hash with Farro

Comfort food is rarely healthy, or vegetarian. This soul-satisfying winter hash is both. The recipe from F&W Best New Chefs 2009 Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo combines crispy sunchokes, silky oyster mushrooms, tender kale and chewy farro. It’s wonderful served with grilled steak or on its own as a meatless main course.

Toasted Farro and Scallions with Cauliflower and Egg

This dish is inspired by a Moroccan porridge called herbel, which chef Mourad Lahlou's mother and grandmother used to cook for him. It's traditionally made with barley, milk, butter and cinnamon, but Lahlou likes doing it his own way.

Farro Salad with Fennel and Arugula

Chef Art Smith loves to toss whole grains, like farro, into his green salads to make them more substantial. In addition to farro, try this salad with wheat berries, spelt or barley. Most farro is slightly pearled (the white starch shines through the brown hull), so it cooks quickly. If it's not, it may take longer to cook.
