This ancient grain has become super popular over the years because of its nutty flavor and how easy it is to prepare. There are so many good reasons to incorporate this whole grain into your diet. In this post, I share my favorite Farro Mushroom Risotto Recipe.
Farro Mushroom Risotto Recipe
Risotto is a northern Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. In this recipe, I use the ancient grain Farro instead of rice. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe: If you can’t find shiitake mushrooms I have used morel or even baby portabella. Don’t forget my rule when it comes to the wine – only use the good stuff you would drink!
You will need:
- butter
- shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, de-stemmed, and diced
- shallots (about ¼ cup), minced
- garlic, minced
- 1 cup Farro
- white wine
- vegetable stock
- parmesan cheese
- yogurt
- pine nuts
- fresh chives

Tips for Storing Whole Grains
I can usually find Farro at ALdi and always on Amazon. There are a few different brands I’ve used and I can always count on Bob’s Red Mill Brand.
Because whole grains include the bran and germ of the grain, they must be stored a bit more carefully than their refined counterparts. Store grains covered, in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight for no more than 3 months for flours and meals and 6 months for intact grains. Consider keeping any grains or flours you don’t plan to use immediately in the freezer for best results.
