Farro?

[LisaC]

I was just looking at a recipe for a lemon-mustard salmon and it suggested pairing it with farro. This is the first time I've ever heard of farro - has anyone tried it? :dunno

FYI: It's a grain that you cook in water until soft, but crunchy.

Most people have not heard of it. You are not alone. In my family is has always been used like you would use risotto or couscous. (I think it has Italian origins or popular there, all my recipes are from my dad)

Faro is an old card game, it was popular in the old west.
Also called "Bucking the Tiger".

Sadly my friend, this stuff sounds more like your elusive quinoa.... :laugh

My sister just reminded me that she uses it for breakfast instead of oatmeal and they have a pasta made with it that is very good. You cook it very much like quinoa and it does not have to crunchy.
(P.S. she was surprised someone asked about it.)

Now that makes more sense - it looks like oats in the picture I saw of it. I may try to find this the next time I'm at the Dekalb Farmers Market or Fresh Market so I can try it. (Maybe - if I remember, that is).

This is the only Faro I've ever heard of too, and only because I saw it in the movie Tombstone...lol.

I suppose that it goes without saying that I've never seen that movie... :whistle

It's actually a good movie. I don't care for "western-y" flicks, but this is a good one.

Wouldn't surprise me.
If it something that you can't just eat and it cost a lot and not many people know what it is, it is probably in our pantry.
