Steamed Farro
Farro doubles in volume when cooked, so that small bag goes much farther than you think it will. Be sure you buy farro perlato—this means the chewy outside hull was removed and the farro will cook to a much softer bite. After soaking the farro, you can drain and store it a day in advance.
