In the instant pot you say? YES please! I'll take that one to the grave... ( too far? Lol!)
Seriously though, I am starting to absolutely LOVE my instant pot…especially when I am able to cook my favorite foods in a short period of time! One of those is farro!
For those of you new to farro, it is an ancient whole grain. It is packed full of fiber, nutrients, and proteins that make it a great substitute for rice, pasta, and other empty carbs.
Ok enough about the benefits, let's talk about how to cook it!
Alright! Let's get cookin' and spend some thyme together ya'll! Per the usual I included the basic ingredients you need for this recipe, the ingredients I used, and directions to follow along. If you modified something, then skip that step or replace the step with your own ingredient!
