01
Cook Farro in Instant Pot
Start by turning on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. Melt the butter, then add the farro and give it a good stir, cooking for about 2 minutes until it’s nicely coated. Pour in the chicken stock and stir everything together. Switch the pot to manual high pressure, close the lid, and set the timer for 10 minutes. It’ll take around 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up. When the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. Once you can open the lid, stir in the cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of Greek seasoning until the cheese melts and everything is creamy and well combined.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the creamy texture of risotto with the nutty flavor of farro, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal. Using the Instant Pot® cuts down cooking time while keeping the grains tender and perfectly cooked. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy twist on a classic comfort food.
How to serve
Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. It pairs well with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. A drizzle of olive oil or a handful of grated Parmesan can add an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing as the texture may change.
