INSTRUCTIONS
Serves 4 to 6. Rinse farro in a strainer under cold water. Put farro
and 6 cups of water into a 4-quart saucepan and salt to taste. Bring
to a gentle simmer, cover and cook 30 to 40 minutes or until tender.
Drain. Rinse the porcini mushrooms under cold running water to clean.
Soak in 1 cup hot water for about 20 minutes. Remove mushrooms from
the soaking liquid and gently squeeze. Pour the soaking water through
a sieve lined with a paper towel and reserve. Coarsely chop the
mushrooms. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium high. Stir in
the porcini, shiitake and white mushrooms with the onion, garlic and
herbs and saute until the onion is clear and the mushrooms have
softened. Pour in the soaking liquid and coo until it evaporates. Add
the orange zest, salt and pepper to taste and the wine and cook until
the liquid is reduced to a thin glaze. Spoon the mushrooms over the
farro and sprinkle with the cheese just before serving. Recipe by:
