TORTA SALATA DI FARRO - SAVORY FARRO PIE



Torta Salata Di Farro - Savory Farro Pie image

A traditional dish of the hills around Lucca. It calls for cracked farro, which cooks faster. I first heard of farro from Giada De Laurentiis, who made a salad from it (a recipe which I've posted). Farro is similar to wheat berries.

Categories     Pie

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces cracked farro
1 cup fresh ricotta (8 ounces)
3 large eggs
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
salt & pepper
to taste cold butter
to taste dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 370 degrees F (180 C).
  • Prepare the farro: Wash it well, picking out impurities such as bits of chaff, pebbles, or bad grains. In a medium saucepan, combine the farro with about 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt, then turn heat to high and bring it all to a boil.
  • When it has come to a boil, reduce the temperature to medium low, cover, and let simmer until the farro is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, drain mixture well, then pour it all into a large ceramic or porcelain bowl and set aside to let cool.
  • When cooled, combine it with the remaining ingredients except the butter and the bread crumbs.
  • Use the butter and bread crumbs to lightly grease and coat a 9-inch pan, pour the farro mixture into it, and bake it in a 370 F (180C) oven for about 40 minutes.
  • This will work well as a second course, with a tossed salad.
  • Recipe adapted from Giada De Laurentiis' method of cooking farro and from a recipe in Luciano Migliolli's "Il Farro e le sue Ricette." Farro: Grain of the Legions Grano Farro has a long and glorious history - it is the original grain from which all others derive, and fed the Mediterranean and Near Eastern populations for thousands of years; somewhat more recently it was the standard ration of the Roman Legions that expanded throughout the Western World. Ground into a paste and cooked, it was also the primary ingredient in plus, the polenta eaten for centuries by the Roman poor.
