Servings: 4

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 cup farro

3 cups warm water

2 ounces dried porcini, pulverized

4 ounces mascarpone

1/2 pound chanterelles, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

1 clove garlic, minced

salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment:

food processor

pot

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Pulverize the porcini in a food processor, then reconstitute in 3 cups of warm water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes. Pour porcini water in a pot, salt the water, and bring to a boil. Stir in farro, lower heat to a simmer and cook until water is gone, about 40 minutes. Farro should be al dente yet tender. You can add more or less water and cook until desired softness. There's plenty of leeway and personal preference with farro. While farro is cooking, saute chanterelles for several minutes in butter in a large skillet, in batches if necessary. Avoid slimy chanterelles by not crowding the pan. You want the mushrooms to be lightly browned and firm. Stir mascarpone into farro, then stir in most of the chanterelles, reserving some as a topping. Season and garnish with chopped chives or parsley.

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
