  • About

Farro is a nutty-tasting grain similar in texture to barley; choose semi-pearled rather than whole-grain farro, as it cooks much more quickly. You can buy preshaved Parmesan cheese, or shave your own easily from a wedge using a vegetable peeler.

Ingredients

  • semi-pearled farro, 1 cup (7 oz/220 g)
  • red chard

Method

  1. Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add farro and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grains are tender, 18–20 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, trim stem ends of chard and cut crosswise into thin slivers. Place in a colander and rinse well.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon
