Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

2-3 glugs or tablespoons olive oil

2 leeks, white parts only, sliced finely

1 cup or 150 gr farro

1 stalk of celery, finely diced

1 carrot, finely diced

1 onion, finely diced

1 liter meat stock (vegetable or chicken stock is OK, however meat stock adds richer flavor) **Please do not use bullion cubes for this! There are only 3 ingredients & they should be of the highest quality possible.

herbs - I use 1 sprig of thyme & a bay leaf

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

salt & pepper

Equipment:

pot

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In a heavy bottomed pot, heat olive oil on med/low heat. Add in the vegetables and sweat until translucent and soft WITHOUT browning. If the vegetables stick to the pan, lower the heat & add a spoonful of water. Then toss in the farro, toasting with the vegetables for 1-2 minutes. Add in the herbs & stock. Season with salt & pepper. Then Bring up to a low simmer and continue to simmer for 30-40 minutes until the farro is tender. You can control the consistency of the soup: to make it more 'stewy' hold back a little stock, and the contrary if you like it 'soupy,' add a bit more stock. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and serve with toasty bread.

Food Joke

A young man saw an elderly couple sitting down to lunch at Burger King. He noticed that they ordered one meal, and an extra drink cup. As he watched, the gentleman carefully divided the hamburger in half, then counted out the fries. One for him, one for her, until each had half of them. Then he poured half of the soft drink into the extra cup, and set it in front of his wife. The old man began to eat, and his wife sat watching, with her hands folded in her lap.The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal for them so that they didn`t have to split theirs.The old gentleman said, "Oh, no. We`ve been married 50 years, and everything has always been and will always be shared, 50/50."The young man than asked the wife if she was going to eat, and she replied, "Not yet. It`s his turn using the teeth."
