French Onion Farro

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring every so often, until soft and translucent. This will take about 20 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 30 seconds. Add the wine and stir to combine and scrape any bits from the bottom of the pot.
3. Add 2 ½ cups of broth, the farro, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine then increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and cook uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until the farro is tender. Stir occasionally. If the liquid cooks off and the farro appears to be drying out, add the additional ½ cup vegetable broth.
4. While the farro finished cooking, make the crostini. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Slice the baguette and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes to toast the bread. Remove from the oven and top with cheese. Return to the oven and cook until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
5. To serve, spoon the farro into bowls and top with parsley (optional). Garnish with a few pieces of the cheesy crostini and serve warm. Enjoy!
