CREAMY FARRO WITH CRISPY MUSHROOMS AND SOUR CREAM



Creamy Farro With Crispy Mushrooms and Sour Cream image

Similar in texture to a risotto (without the constant stirring), this creamy, saucy farro is about half the work, with almost no technique required. While the porridgelike texture is a delight all on its own, the meaty, golden brown mushrooms and frizzled leeks are the real reason you are here. Using plenty of olive oil to make sure the mushrooms crisp and brown without sticking will be the secret to success in that department.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
4 medium leeks, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
1 pound mix of mushrooms, such as maitake, oyster, cremini or chanterelle, torn into bite-size pieces (about 5 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 cups pearled or semi-pearled farro or barley
4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
1/2 cup finely chopped chives (from about 1 bunch)
1 cup fresh dill leaves, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus lemon wedges for squeezing
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the leeks and half the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and crisped, 12 to 15 minutes. (They will start giving off moisture and steaming a little before this happens, so be patient.)
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a medium bowl leaving any olive oil behind. (They will have absorbed the oil as they cook, and released it back as they crisp.) Add a bit more olive oil so there's another 1/4 cup or so in the pot. Cook the remaining leeks and mushrooms, adding them to the bowl with the other mushrooms.
  • Without wiping the pot, add farro and season with salt and pepper. Cook over that same medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until farro is toasted on the outside (it will go from pale golden brown to a toastier golden brown), about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a strong simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until farro is fully cooked and most (but not all) of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. It should still look a bit loose, like risotto or a porridge. Remove from heat and add half the chives.
  • Toss dill, remaining chives and lemon zest together in a small bowl. To serve, season farro with salt and pepper and ladle into bowls. Top with sour cream, mushrooms and leeks, and dill mixture. Serve lemon wedges alongside for squeezing.

CREAMY FARRO AND CHICKPEA SOUP

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup dried chickpeas, soaked in water overnight
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 imported bay leaves
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped prosciutto
1 tablespoon minced celery
3/4 cup farro or hulled barley, rinsed, then soaked in water overnight
1 quart chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly chopped flatleaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Drain chickpeas, and place in a medium earthenware pan or saucepan. Cover with plenty of cold water, and bring to a boil. Add sea salt and bay leaves. Reduce heat, and cook, covered, until very soft, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat olive oil and gently cook onion, prosciutto and celery for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft but not brown. Drain farro, and add it along with the chicken broth, marjoram and nutmeg to the onion mixture. Cook, partially covered, for about 1 hour.
  • Drain chickpeas, reserving the cooking liquid. Discard bay leaves. In a food processor, puree chickpeas with 1 cup of the reserved liquid. Add pureed chickpeas to the farro mixture; if necessary, add more of the cooking liquid from the chickpeas to achieve the consistency of a creamy soup. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Wait 10 minutes before serving, and sprinkle each portion with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

CREAMY FARRO



Creamy Farro image

This dish was inspired by my desire to create a fun and unusual risotto. Farro is an ancient grain you can find at any grocery store, and it's great to have in your pantry as a substitute for rice. Here, the farro mixes terrifically with the soft Mahon cheese, making a creamy, unique side.

Provided by Seamus Mullen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 quarts vegetable stock
1 small yellow onion
1 carrot
1 rib celery
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups farro
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, divided
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup Mahon cheese, finely grated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 bunch chives, may substitute garlic chives or garlic scapes
Thyme, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Bring the vegetable stock to a simmer in a stockpot; keep it at a simmer while you prepare the vegetables. Finely dice the yellow onion, carrot, and celery; mince the garlic. In a medium-mesh strainer, rinse the farro under cold running water.
  • In a medium Dutch oven or wide sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and gently sauté them. After the vegetables have softened slightly, add the garlic. To release the flavors of the aromatic vegetables, add 1 tablespoon of the white wine vinegar. Stir to release the vegetables from the bottom of the pan (a process called "deglazing"). Add the rinsed farro and stir to incorporate. Add the white wine and cook for a few minutes, until the alcohol evaporates.
  • Season the farro with a generous teaspoon of salt. Start adding the hot vegetable stock, about a cup at a time; gently stir the farro until the vegetable stock is completely absorbed and the grains begin to soften. Add another cup of the hot stock and repeat the process until all the stock has been added and the farro is completely cooked.
  • Once the farro is creamy and completely cooked, fold in the grated Mahon cheese and stir to combine. Then fold in the cubed butter and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of white wine vinegar; stir to combine. To finish, mince the fresh chives (or fresh thyme, optional) and sprinkle over the top of the dish. Serve immediately.
