Ingredients

  • 1 cup 1 farro

  • 4 cup 4 vegetable broth

  • 1⁄2 cup 1⁄2 broth for broth saute

  • 1 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves 3 garlic, minced

  • 8 ounces 8 mushrooms (such as cremini or shiitake), sliced

  • 1 bunch 1 trimmed and chopped bite sized asparagus

  • 1⁄2 cup 1⁄2 dry white wine (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 tbsp 2 nutritional yeast (optional)

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer and keep it warm over low heat.
  • In a separate large skillet or pot, heat a tiny bit of broth over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Keep adding broth a bit at a time so they caramelize as if using oil.
  • Add the mushrooms and asparagus to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the farro and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • If using, pour in the white wine and cook until it has evaporated.
  • Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the farro to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process until the farro is tender and creamy, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the nutritional yeast if using.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
