I first decided to use farro after seeing Nigella Lawson use it in her latest series, the Italian one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I did something wrong but it was so chewy - def not my favourite grain!
Good to see you, Sandy! : )
DeleteYes, it's definitely chewier than most other grains! I love the chewiness for a refreshing change of pace sometimes, but if chewy isn't your thing, rice might work better here.
The past year or two I have been getting into Farro and I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!! Sun Dried Tomatoes are always a great pairing. Vinegars, too! And Artichokes!!!! OMG...now I want some Farro! LOL
