½ c farro - rinsed
a pinch of salt
1½c water
½c chopped pecans or walnuts
½c chopped frozen berries-cherries
½-1t cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
½t pure vanilla or almond extract - optional
1t honey or jelly - optional
¼-½c half and half - optional
Rinse the farro in a strainer then combine with water and salt in a 2 quart pan. Simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Add the next group of ingredients and bring back to a low simmer, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Today I used Dandelion Jelly !! I found at a Farmer's Market, to give this a touch of sweetness. Top with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar for a nice crunch.
This is a great cold weather breakfast. . .Lin
