    Let it cool, still warm. Ceramic on the left, cast iron on the right:

    Cast iron baked up sightly darker and tasted overcooked. Same oven, same temp, same time, rotated 1/2 way through, left to right front to back.

    So, going forward, all ceramic all the time, or, if in cast iron, maybe reduce the time from 60 minutes to 50 or 55 minutes.

  • I mean, it’s not really a “recipe” per se.

    You put water in a pot, add a little salt, boil it, add farro and continue boiling for 10 to 30 minutes depending on if you have the fast cook variety or the “normal” variety.

    Once done, garnish to taste, you can really add whatever you’d like.

    Flavor is nutty, like a grain, texture is more like rice.

    America’s Test Kitchen has a salad recipe with Asparagus, Sugar Snap Peas, and Tomatoes.

    (they paywall their print recipes so the video is the best I can do here.)

    1 1/2 cups rinsed whole grain farro
    2 quarts boiling water
    tablespoon of salt

    Boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cook 20 minutes, strain.

    Really, you don’t need much else, like rice. Butter, salt, pepper, olive oil. Good eats.

    They take it farther by adding 6 ounces each of asparagus, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes and feta.
