Jennis Italian Farro Pilaf Recipes

Steps:

• Cook 1/2 diced onion in 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan, 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup pearled farro and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then add 1 cup diced butternut squash. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook 15 minutes.

Lower the heat, cover the pan and simmer until the farro is very tender, about 35 minutes. Check the farro towards the end of cooking and add 1 to 2 tablespoons water if the pan dries out before the farro is tender.
