Simple, quick and delicious beyond words.
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
- Slice and prepare the onion, garlic, and tomatoes.
- In a medium saucepan, saute the onion and garlic with a little bit of olive oil until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add tomatoes, salt, red pepper flakes, farro, water and the 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir to mix.
- Bring the ingredients in uncovered pan to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- At the end of 30 minutes the farro should be fully cooked (tender but with a meaty chew).
- Separate into two bowls and top with basil leaves and parmesan.
Notes on Farro: If package says it will cook in 15 minutes, it's probably pearled; if it takes around 30 minutes, it's likely semi-pearled. Buy this one! If the package says it takes 60-80 minutes, it is whole or unpearled.
