Caroline, the video shows you adding some items to the farro. Can I please ask what seasoning you are using to flavor the farro?

Hi Amy - Sorry about that! I always like to add some aromatics to farro when I’m cooking it, especially because the time it takes this grain is longer than most and allows it to infuse more of the flavor. In this case, I added some shallots and bay leaves, but depending on your preference (and recipe), you could add rosemary and/or whole star anise for a more pronounced anise flavor. If you like it spicier, toss in some whole peppercorns! And by the way, thanks much for all your input. I really appreciate and value it! XO C

Thank you, Caroline! I’m going to make the salmon and fennel recipe for our evening meal tomorrow and the farro will be our grain side. I usually cook farro with chicken broth and bouquet garni, but you have great suggestions for flavor combinations, and I would like to try something new.

Looks delicious and I look forward to fixing this salmon! I do have a question about gluten….it seems that I’m gluten intolerant and was wondering if you have a video or info on how to deal with that while on this way of eating? Thank you for any info you may have.
