Preparation
Step 1
Place farro in a medium saucepan and add the stock. (It should cover the farro.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Once the farro is cooked and chewy, drain off any excess liquid.
Step 2
Add remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. Season with extra salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm.

Chef's notes
Farro is a fantastic substitute for rice in all kinds of dishes, especially risotto and fried rice.
It's super rich in protein (7 grams per dry 1/4 cup — higher than quinoa!).
