For a vegan option, substitute the chicken stock with vegetable broth and omit the crème fraîche and Parmigiano-Reggiano, or use plant-based alternatives. Experiment with different types of wild mushrooms for a unique flavor profile. To enhance the nutty flavor of the farro, toast it in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the olive oil. Fresh thyme or rosemary can be added during the onion saute stage for added depth

Follow The Directions
01
StepRehydrate the porcini: Place porcini mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water, and let them soak until reconstituted (20-30 minutes). Drain and chop the mushrooms.
02
StepSauté the mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add cremini mushrooms and a pinch of salt; sauté until slightly golden and moisture cooks off (5-10 minutes). Add chopped porcini mushrooms, reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until hot (2-4 minutes).
03
StepBuild the base: Add onion; cook and stir until translucent and golden (5-7 minutes). Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant (approximately 1 minute).
04
StepToast the farro: Stir in farro until coated in olive oil. Increase heat to high; add 1 cup chicken broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer, stirring once, until liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
05
StepSimmer to perfection: Increase heat to high; stir in remaining 2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until farro starts to get tender (about 15 minutes). Remove the lid; simmer, uncovered, until farro reaches desired tenderness (about 15 minutes more).
06
StepFinish and serve: Reduce heat to low; stir in crème fraîche and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; serve immediately.
