FARRO WITH MUSHROOMS
Farro is chewier than Italian rice and doesn't release starch when it's cooked, so there's no need to stir it the way you'd stir a risotto. This hearty dish has a rich, earthy flavor. Although it takes about twice as long as a risotto to cook, it doesn't require tending.

Steps:
- Place the farro in a bowl, and pour on enough hot water to cover by an inch. Let soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain.
- Place the dried mushrooms in a large Pyrex measuring cup or bowl, and pour in 2 cups boiling water. Let sit 30 minutes.
- Drain the mushrooms through a strainer set over a bowl and lined with cheesecloth or a paper towel. Squeeze the mushrooms over the strainer, then rinse in several changes of water to remove grit. Chop coarsely if the pieces are large and set aside. Add the broth from the mushrooms to the stock. You should have 6 cups (add water if necessary). Place in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt to taste.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften and sweat. Add salt to taste, the garlic and rosemary. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender, about five minutes. Add the farro and reconstituted dried mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the grains of farro are separate and beginning to crackle, about two minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring until the wine has been absorbed. Add all but about 1 cup of the stock, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 50 minutes or until the farro is tender; some of the grains will be beginning to splay. Remove the lid, and stir vigorously from time to time. Taste and adjust seasoning. There should be some liquid remaining in the pot but not too much. If the farro is submerged in stock, raise the heat and cook until there is just enough to moisten the grains, like a sauce. If there is not, stir in the remaining stock. If not serving right away, cover and let stand. Just before serving, bring back to a simmer, add the Parmesan, parsley and pepper, and stir together. Remove from the heat and serve.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the farro and 4 cups of water. Soak for 30 minutes and drain well.
- Heat the broth in a small saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the drained farro and cook, stirring constantly until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and stir constantly until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the hot broth and stir constantly until completely absorbed. Continue adding the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the farro is creamy and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the currants, pine nuts, feta cheese, and the remaining salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
- Cook's Note: To toast the pine nuts, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven until lightly toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

- Add the dried mushrooms to a small dish and pour the boiling water over, press the mushrooms down with a fork so they are completely immersed. Allow the dried mushrooms to rehydrate for 15 minutes. Drain them through a fine mesh strainer and reserve the soaking water. Chop the mushrooms when cool enough to handle, place on a small plate and reserve.
- In a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and when it is warm add the whole-grains of farro. Stir the farro, coating them with the oil and allow them to gently toast while continuing to stir. About 1-3 minutes, the toasting adds to the nutty flavor of the risotto.
- Add the wine and cook for another 30 seconds or so to burn off the alcohol, then add the chicken broth, red pepper flakes, the reserved Porcini-soaking water and the chopped rehydrated Porcini mushrooms. Bring the pot to a boil, cover with the lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 60 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the farro grains are easy to bite when tested. They should be somewhat firm and chewy but not hard.
- Meanwhile: In a large skillet set over medium-high, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and add the sliced Crimini mushrooms, stirring to coat them well and cook until soft and slightly golden. Add the chopped garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the leeks and chopped oregano and cook until the leeks are softened, stirring frequently.
