About

I like this with tongue of fire or scarlet runner beans and a 50/50 mix of water and chicken stock.

Ingredients

Neutral oil
1 cup [125 g] farro
2 bay leaves

Side dish
Main course

Method

In a medium to large Dutch oven, heat a large glug of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add the farro and bay leaves (if using) and fry until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and a big pinch of salt and toss to coat. Add the white wine, turn down the heat to medium, and cook until reduced by half and the onions start to tenderize.

Add the runner beans and stock.
