Apple Cider Farro

This recipe is inspired by a delicious farro salad at the NYC restaurant Charlie Bird. Cooked in apple cider, the farro develops a sweet, fruity quality. At Charlie Bird, they toss it with juicy vegetables to make a salad, but this farro is good all on its own too. Simply toss with some olive oil and lemon and finish it off with some freshly grated Parmesan for a delicious side dish.

Directions

  1. Bring 2 cups each apple cider and water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in 1 1/2 cups farro, 3 strips lemon zest and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until the farro is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Whisk 2 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add the farro and toss. Top with grated Parmesan.

This has way too much vinegar in it. Took my breath away just tasting it. Maybe it would work with a quarter cup vs 2 cups, but I don’t think I will waste my time and ingredients on it a second time.
