Farro - We tried it!

Armed with a bit of cooking look-up (here, thanks Foodzie!) and a general and cavalier approach to all grains (it can't be that different than rice, right?), we cooked some farro to go with dinner.

I brought 4 cups of water to a boil.

Added 1 cup of dry farro.

Reduced the heat to small simmering bubbling and put the lid on the saucepan.

I set a timer for 35 minutes just not quite believing the predicted 1 hour cooking time (really?).

The victory is this 

Farro (and Rapini, which I made in the intervening 35 minutes.)
