Ingredients

1 cup farro, rinsed

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and chopped coarse

1 shallot, minced

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

2 tablespoons dry sherry

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1 teaspoon sherry vinegar

Preparation

  1. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in Dutch oven. Stir in farro and 1 tablespoon salt. Return to boil, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

  2. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, shallot, thyme, and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until moisture has evaporated and vegetables start to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add sherry and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until pan is almost dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Add farro and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat, stir in parsley and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
