From Scott Conant, Scarpetta, New York, NY
Yields 6 servings
Serve with Scarpetta Braised Short Ribs
Ingredients:
Salt, Kosher
3/4 Cups farro
Oil, extra virgin olive
1/2 Cup carrot 1/4-inch diced
Pepper, crushed red
1/2 Cup squash, yellow 1/4-inch diced
1/2 Cup squash, zucchini 1/4-inch diced
1 1/2 Cup stock, chicken, low-sodium warmed
2 Tbls butter, unsalted
2 Tbls cheese, Parmesan, grated
Pepper, black, ground
1 Cup tomatoes, red grape cut in half
1/4 Cup onion, green sliced, optional
Tools Needed:
Cuisinart 622-30G Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Skillet with Glass Cover
Directions:
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the farro, lower the heat to a gentle boil, and cook until chewy but no longer hard, about 15 minutes. Drain and spread the farro out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and season with salt and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add the squash and zucchini. Season again and cook, adding additional oil, if needed and stirring, until the vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the farro and 1/2 cup of the stock and bring to a boil, stirring, until the broth is almost completely absorbed, about 4 minutes. (Do not let the pot become completely dry.) Add another 1/2 cup stock, stirring, until the pan is almost dry. Season with a little salt, then add the remaining 1/2 cup stock and the sautéed vegetables. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the butter. Add the cheese and stir, shaking the pan to help release the starch. Season with salt, a tiny pinch of crushed red pepper, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cover the pot and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and scallions and season to taste.
To serve, spoon onto plates, top with short ribs and ladle braising liquid over the top.
Just some blog space to talk about one of my loves - food! I enjoy trying new recipes and making things on the fly. My rule is: Always follow the recipe exactly the first time...after that there are NO rules.
