Savory Garlic Farro

Ingredients

1 cup farro perlato
1 garlic clove, smashed
3 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Warm the olive oil and garlic in a medium sauce pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the farro, and let it toast in the olive oil – stirring often – until it starts to look golden, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth all at once, increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil.

Once it’s reached a hard boil, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low (or whatever keeps it at a light boil). Let the farro simmer for 18 minutes, then remove it from heat and let the it sit for another 5 minutes before taking the lid off.

Fluff the farro with a fork, remove the garlic, and serve it hot.
