Description
A simple recipe for baked farro with mushrooms and thyme, resulting in a comforting side dish or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-pearled farro
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the farro, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until tender but still slightly chewy. Drain any excess liquid.
- While the farro cooks, heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cooked farro, salt, and pepper.
- If using, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 10 minutes until heated through and the top is slightly golden.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth if desired.
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms.
