To prepare, rinse the farro under cold water. Combine one part farro with three parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. You can also cook it in a rice cooker. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and serve warm or cold. It is ready to be seasoned as desired.
