This elegant vegan farro recipe will please everyone!

(I am a little in love with farro. It's slightly chewy and nutty and tastes hearty and substantial.)

Here it is cooked in stock, tossed with sauteed shallots, Shitake and white mushrooms and topped with a creamy and decadent sauce with bright hits of citrus zest. Fresh chopped parsley and fried sage leaves add a touch of crunch and elegant flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Farro
  • 2  1/2  cups Vegetable or Mushroom Stock
  • 5 Tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon minced shallots
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut cream (see notes at end of recipe for more information)
  • 3/4 stick cold vegan butter, cut into six pieces
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 cups mixed Shitake and white mushrooms, sliced
  • pinch cayenne

Instructions

  1. Cook the farro in the stock according to package directions. Drain and keep warm.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the wine, lemon and orange juices, 1 teaspoon of the minced shallots, sea salt, white pepper and lemon and orange zest. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly reduced (3-5 minutes). Stir in the coconut cream and remove from the heat. Add the butter, one piece at a time, whisking well after each addition so the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Set aside and keep warm over very low heat (don't allow it to simmer).
  3. Fry the sage and Saute the mushrooms: Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is shimmering, add the minced sage and quickly fry (about one minute). Using a slotted spoon, remove half of the fried sage and transfer it to the pan with the cream sauce. To the remaining fried sage in the large skillet, add the mushrooms, 1/2 cup minced shallots and a generous pinch of cayenne. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Saute until the shallots soften (5-8 minutes).
  4. Add the farro to the skillet with the mushrooms and toss together. Drizzle with the cream sauce and garnish with the fresh chopped parsley and additional lemon and orange zest.

Notes

Coconut cream is much thicker than coconut milk. I buy it in a can at Trader Joe's. Be sure to stir it well before using, as it can separate sometimes in the can.
