When it’s cold outside, warm up your insides with hearty and healthy dishes like Garlicky Farro with Sautéed Mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro, rinsed and drained
- 3 cups water
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 6 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, destemmed and sliced
- 6 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
- ¼ tsp sea salt or to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Add the rinsed farro and water to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain excess water if needed.
While the farro is cooking, add 2 Tbsp of the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic at the same time (to prevent the garlic from burning). Cook for 8-12 minutes or until tender and most of the liquid has cooked off, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked farro to the pan with the mushrooms and stir in the parsley, 1 Tbsp olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
