Porridge di Farro

Porridge di Farro is a creamy and hearty Italian breakfast dish made from farro, a nutty ancient grain. Topped with fresh fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of honey, it offers a wholesome and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• Farro - 100 grams
• Water - 600 milliliters
• Milk (or plant-based milk) - 200 milliliters
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana) - 150 grams
• Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) - 30 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Rinse the farro under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed farro, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the farro is tender and chewy.
4. In another saucepan, heat the milk over low heat, adding the cinnamon and vanilla extract.
5. Once the farro is cooked, drain any excess water if necessary and stir it into the warm milk mixture.
6. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency.
7. Serve hot, drizzled with honey, topped with fresh fruits and chopped nuts.
