Mushroom Farro Risotto 

(FARROTTO)

Farrotto!  It’s risotto, but made with farro.  Creamy mushroom farroto, or farro risotto, with roasted butternut squash makes a beautiful vegetarian or vegan dinner.

INGREDIENTS

•  Extra virgin olive oil •  Butternut squash •  Mushrooms •  Shallots •  Garlic •  Pearled (quick) farro •  White wine such as               pinot grigio •  Vegetable broth •  Fresh thyme leaves •  Fresh sage leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

COOK THE MUSHROOMS

1:

Saute the mushrooms in a little olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, until tender. You can use whatever mushrooms you like.

SAUTE ONION & GARLIC

2:

Just like when making traditional rice risotto, we saute the onion, then garlic, then, stir in the farro to toast for just a minute.

SPLASH OF WINE

3:

Simmer white wine until absorbed/evaporated. I don’t measure, just add about 1/4 cup splash.

SLOWLY ADD BROTH

4:

Keep a saucepan of broth on the stove on low heat. I use a whole 32 oz. box. Ladle about 1/2-1 cup of broth into the farro pot and stir until absorbed before adding more.
