Farro with sauted mushrooms

This simple recipe makes a comforting vegan/ vegetarian entree or a hearty side.  Sauteed mushrooms, nutty farro, and fragrant thyme come together quickly for a healthy dish that will warm you up on a chilly Fall day.

Farro with mushrooms and thyme

I use Trader Joe’s 10 minute farro and can get this on the table in 20 minutes including all the chopping.  The last time I made it I served it with Brussels sprouts and roasted carrots for a healthy, filling vegetarian meal that could have easily been made vegan if I could lay off the butter.

Sauteed Mushrooms and Farro

Ingredients

  • 1 c semipearled or quick cooking farro (I use Trader Joe's 10-minute farro)
  • 2 c low sodium chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegan/ vegetarian)
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 c onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb assorted fresh mushrooms (crimini, portabella, shirataki, etc), sliced
  • 1 tbs fresh thyme, chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Cook farro in broth according to package directions. Add additional broth or water if needed.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute, stirring, until onions are beginning to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms release their juices and begin to soften, about 5 more minutes. Add thyme and season to taste.

Combine mushroom with cooked farro and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve with a sprinkle of herbs and Parmesan cheese, if desired.

    Hi Maggie,
    I love how simple this recipe is. I can’t ever get enough of sauteed mushrooms but I haven’t actually paired them together with farro. I have some in my pantry so I think I’ll make this for dinner today. Looks really delicious. Lovely pictures!
