Whole Farro

Hello, I purchased what I think is whole farro (as opposed to pearled) at the market and tried to cook it but it never got as tender as I've had it in restaurants. It was on the stovetop for over an hour. Any tips on how to cook whole farro? Thank you!

    Hi Stephanie - You might want to try soaking it overnight in water. Then drain and cook it using the pasta method - adding the farro to salted boiling water and then cooking and draining. This should be faster. Best, Lynn C.
