Mushroom and White Bean Farroto
with green beans / yogurt
"Farroto" is a twist on risotto that uses whole grain farro instead of rice as a base. Simmering the farro with vegetables and stock results in a dish that has a creamy but more chewy texture than the original.

Make
- Heat a saute pan over medium heat. Add walnuts and toast until golden brown (watch them closely so they don’t burn), ~2 minutes. Set nuts aside and return pan to heat.
- Add oil and then carrots and onions to heated oil. Saute until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until mushrooms are golden brown, 5 minutes more.
- Add garlic and thyme leaves and continue to saute for 1 minute more.
- Pour wine and stock over vegetables and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute and then add farro and beans. Saute until farro is heated through and liquids are reduced, 4 to 5 minutes.
- While farroto reduces, grate cheese.
- Remove farroto from heat and stir in butter, cheese and lemon juice (portion for the farroto). Season with some salt and pepper.
- Place green beans in a microwave safe container. Add 1 Tbsp / 15ml (for 4 servings; adjust if customizing) of water and sprinkle with some salt. Cover with a lid or damp paper towel and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on thickness of green beans.
- Squeeze lemon juice (portion for the green beans) over green beans and season them with some salt.
- Serve farroto with walnuts and yogurt for topping. Enjoy with green beans on the side.
