  • 1/3 cup good olive oil

Method of Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (unless using a convection oven, then lower)
  • Rinse the farro with cold water before cooking.
  • Bring the vegetable stock and 1 tsp. kosher salt to a boil. Add the farro; stir, cover and reduce heat to medium low and cook for 20-25 minutes or until all the stock is absorbed by the farro.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss both kinds of mushrooms and the diced onions with the olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes (or until mushrooms and onions look browned and cooked).
  • In a large bowl, toss the roasted vegetables with the hot farro. Add the fresh baby arugula and parsley; stir to coat and slightly wilt the arugula.
  • Taste and adjust for seasoning with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve!
