Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

2-3 glugs or tablespoons olive oil

2 leeks, white parts only, sliced finely

1 cup or 150 gr farro

1 stalk of celery, finely diced

1 carrot, finely diced

1 onion, finely diced

1 liter meat stock (vegetable or chicken stock is OK, however meat stock adds richer flavor) **Please do not use bullion cubes for this! There are only 3 ingredients & they should be of the highest quality possible.

herbs - I use 1 sprig of thyme & a bay leaf

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

salt & pepper

Equipment:

pot

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In a heavy bottomed pot, heat olive oil on med/low heat. Add in the vegetables and sweat until translucent and soft WITHOUT browning. If the vegetables stick to the pan, lower the heat & add a spoonful of water. Then toss in the farro, toasting with the vegetables for 1-2 minutes. Add in the herbs & stock. Season with salt & pepper. Then Bring up to a low simmer and continue to simmer for 30-40 minutes until the farro is tender. You can control the consistency of the soup: to make it more 'stewy' hold back a little stock, and the contrary if you like it 'soupy,' add a bit more stock. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and serve with toasty bread.

Food Joke

A young couple got married. When the wife prepared to bake a ham to celebrate their first Thanksgiving, she carefully cut off each end before placing it in the pan.Her husband asked her why she did that and she replied, "I don`t know - it`s what my mother always did. But I can ask her."She called Mom, who responded, "I always saw your Grandma do it, so I did the same."They decided to check further, so the young woman called Grandma, who explained, "It was the only way I could get it to fit into my pan."
