How to Cook Farro 101 | Simple and Easy!

[@WadeGaffney]

You know its a good source when a grandma is cooking. Props to all the g-mas out there!

[@Jill4Today]

I'm not a grandmother -- I never had children, but I accept the compliment!

[@grannyprepper1181]

I received farro at the food bank today. Looking forward to trying it. I’m 71 and have never heard of farro, can’t wait to try it.

[@Jill4Today]

I'm so glad I have the cooking instructions for you. Thanks for watching

[@karenreedy8333]

Thanks. It turned out perfectly. When it was done cooking I added some fresh chopped rosemary, sea salt, ground pepper, a little butter and some finely grated parmesan.

[@Jill4Today]

Sounds delish!!

[@karenreedy8333]

My family of picky eaters had seconds and gobbled it all up.

[@lesaherndon7393]

[@Quorive]

Thank you Jill! Very underrated video.

[@mamasgotmoxy2914]

Oh, I love farro!!!

[@remyanderson8526]

you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf recently xD

[@jaxdeclan5266]

@Remy Anderson Yea, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

[@stephfae333]

Hi hello! It's so nice to see you! Are you guys working or furloughed? Hope the boys are well

[@1CristalJazmin]

Good job

[@1CristalJazmin]

Thank you

[@sandrasanzenbacher232]

I must try cooking some soon. Would you put it in vegetable soup as you would barley? I enjoy lentils and barley in my veg soup so maybe something new to try.

[@Jill4Today]

Yes, adding it to soup would be a great way to use it. It's similar to barley. Hope you enjoy

[@leahmarch8161]

Thanks 😊

[@Jill4Today]

You're welcome!

[@JohnScaglione]

Thanks for the tips. Love your nails by the way. :)

[@melodiewood1315]

Ok I know how to cook it but what do you do with it ? Just eat it ?

[@Jill4Today]

We eat it very much like you'd do with cooked rice. It's also very good in a veggie salad. Here's a link to a salad I like to make using farro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXaQn2x3opebedUsi=MpwcD0IHwQiYi7-5

[@Dialluckysocks]

Thank u

[@monicawidjaja1]

oh thanks Jill ... but do they have to put in that much water or just 1 inch above ?

[@Jill4Today]

I suppose you could use less water. Just make sure it has enough room for the farro moving freely

[@John-nb6ep]

And you can use this like a rice alternative with fish or meat? Is it possible to turn it into a porridge for a savoury dish? Is the cooking time longer and is it better to use a lid in that case if it's savoury? Is the cooking time longer?

[@Jill4Today]

You can substitute it for rice. I've never tried a porridge, but i dont know why not. It does take longer to cook than rice. I'd say follow my recipe to get an idea of best cooked time

[@jayanti8302]

Thank a Jill for all of your great videos. I'd be interested in knowing how people use it. I tried it a couple of years ago. I liked it. However, it must have an awful lot of fiber. I ate it as a side dish and made four hurried trips to the bathroom during the night. I do like these kinds of foods, but shy away from trying it again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@Jill4Today]

It is a high fiber grain that's for sure.

[@stephanies9071]

😄😄, I believe you, it did the same to me.

[@hiker-uy1bi]

is this whole farro (vs. pearled)? Thanks

[@Jill4Today]

This was whole farro -- with the bran and outer layer

[@sbeckas]

was this whole grain farro? pearled or semi-pearled?

[@Jill4Today]

Oh my....I don't know if farro comes in those many "varieties ." It looks dark and earthy like whole grain wheat berries

[@RC-zi4vt]

Does farro need to be soaked ?

[@Jill4Today]

I've never soaked it and it always cooks up beautifully.

[@maryann1187]

When you added the farro to the boiling water, you said it was 3/4 C. When you showed the comparison, you said you started with 1/4 C and it cooked to 3/4 C.

[@Jill4Today]

I think you're right, I'll make sure to clarify that in the next video! Thanks for catching that.

[@montysandor8362]

i grow emmer on my organic farm

[@Jill4Today]

How cool!!

[@swankyangelo8527]

These are the same type of people that grain rice too 😂

[@donnarichey144]

You have such a young looking face. I wish I looked that well. Thanks for sharing. Love you guys.

[@Jill4Today]

You are too kind! Trust me, we don't go to heroic measures with wrinkle creams, etc.

[@MarthaFam-th6px]

Little known fact, farro is actually not originally Italian. It is an ancient Egyptian grain imported from Egypt to Rome to feed the masses

[@Jill4Today]

You are absolutely right! Thanks for the correction.

[@kw6661]

Thank you

[@Jill4Today]

You're welcome

[@lynntunes]

Thank you.

[@Jill4Today]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy trying it

[@lynntunes]

@@Jill4Today First time making it and wasn’t sure if it was more like making rice. When you said it’s like making pasta, it all made sense.
