A twist on classic Italian risotto that's pretty much everything! It's healthier, less work, leftover-friendly and so good! Tomato Farro Risotto with Basil and Parmesan is a hearty vegetarian main dish or side dish you'll put on repeat.
Cook onion 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook 5-10 seconds.
Bring to a Boil
Add farro, stir until it’s coated with oil, about 1 minute. Add wine, bring to a boil and cook until the wine is almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Lower heat to medium. Add ⅓ of the broth.
Simmer, stirring until the broth is absorbed, 5-7 minutes. Repeat with another ⅓ of the broth, stirring occasionally.
Simmer and Stir
Add the remaining broth along with the cherry tomatoes. Simmer, stirring until the rest of the broth is absorbed. Stir in crushed tomatoes, grated Parmesan and basil.
