WHAT IS FARRO?

Farro is an ancient grain known for its chewy texture and nutty flavor once cooked. Packed with protein, iron, and dietary fiber, it serves as a nutritious choice for healthier meals.

Though it resembles rice in shape, farro actually comes from specific wheat species. However, its rice-like texture makes it an excellent alternative for this wholesome fennel and mushroom risotto!

WHAT IS RISOTTO?

Risotto is a classic rice dish originating from Northern Italy. Traditionally, instead of being cooked in water, the rice is simmered in broth until it reaches a creamy consistency—often enhanced by generous amounts of butter and Parmesan cheese.

Rich in savory, umami flavors, risotto is undeniably indulgent and absolutely delicious. However, many traditional variations tend to be quite heavy, making them ideal for an occasional treat but less suited for those aiming to keep meals on the lighter side.

HOW TO COOK FARRO RISOTTO IN A MULTI-COOKER

This farro risotto is a healthier take on the classic, featuring plenty of vegetables, vegetable broth, and a touch of curry powder for an extra burst of flavor. Plus, it’s completely vegan!

Despite being a lighter dish, the rich, creamy texture may still convince your guests that it’s a traditional risotto. And the best part? It can be made with the push of a button. Simply select Programmed Menu #16 on your Tiger multi-cooker, and the dish will cook to perfection—eliminating the need for constant stovetop monitoring.

The farro will turn out perfectly tender, infused with the fresh flavors of fennel and umami-packed mushrooms. And since the rice cooker does all the work, cleanup will be effortless!

Buon Appetito! 🍲
