Instructions

Step 1

Rinse the farro under cold, running water in a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In the bowl of the rice cooker, combine the rinsed farro and water. Set the rice cooker to the "brown" or "whole grain" setting, or follow the instructions provided with your specific rice cooker model. Cooking times may vary, but in my rice cooker, it takes approximately 45 minutes for the farro to cook.

Step 3

Once the cooking cycle is complete, carefully open the rice cooker to release the steam. Be cautious as the steam can be hot. Using a fork, fluff the farro to separate the grains, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.

Step 4

Season the cooked farro as desired. You can enjoy it as is or incorporate it into various dishes such as salads, soups, or pilafs.
