Caprese Farro Risotto


  • Author: cheri
  • Total Time: 1 hours
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 cup farro, thoroughly rinsed
  • 1 shallot finely minced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 3 cups chicken stock, warmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • Homemade Pesto or Store Bought
  • Baked Stuffed Tomatoes, see below


Instructions

  1. Soak the farro for 10 minutes and drain.
  2. Heat the broth in a small saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  3. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the drained farro and cook, stirring constantly until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and stir constantly until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the hot broth and stir constantly until completely absorbed. Continue adding the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the farro is creamy and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and the remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and swirl the pesto in and top with tomato. Sprinkle additional goat cheese over top, if desired.
