Farro is a whole grain that has a nutty flavour and a chewy texture. To cook it, pour some farro in a big pot of water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Fluff with a fork after draining. You can easily used it in salads, bowls, casseroles, stews, and a variety of other dishes in place of rice.
