Start your day with a high fiber, heart-healthy grain that’s also a good source of protein. This Pressure Cooker Lemon Cranberry Breakfast Farro is a great start to the day.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Lemon-Cranberry-Breakfast-Farro<\/p>\n

Farro is an ancient wheat grain. It has a nutty flavor, is a little bit chewy like barley, and can be used as a substitute for pasta or rice. Just 1\/4 cup of dry farro<\/a> has 40 mg of calicum, 7 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber. I eat it for breakfast instead of oatmeal.<\/p>\n

Pressure Cooker Lemon Cranberry Breakfast Farro is my go to breakfast about 4 or 5 mornings a week. I make up a big batch of it so I only have to cook it once a week or so.<\/p>\n

I start it in the pressure cooker and once it’s come to pressure, I leave it cooking while I go to the gym. When I get home it’s done pressure cooking, the pressure has released and it’s hot and ready to eat.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

I’ll have a bowl and then freeze it in 1\/2 cup portions in quart size zip-top bags. It heats up in the microwave in about 1 1\/2 minutes. If I have fresh berries on hand, I’ll substitute berries for the cranberries.<\/p>\n

I love using lemon bakery emulsion<\/a>. It adds a bright lemon flavor to the farro. You can find it at baking supply stores, as well as online on Amazon.<\/p>\n

You also use lemon extract which is available in the spice aisle at the grocery store. Marci, Tidbits, has a pressure cooker recipe to make Pressure Cooker Lemon Extract<\/a>. Or, if you prefer, you could also substitute vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

I buy the farro in a 16 ounce package at Smith’s Marketplace. It’s the Kroger brand. I’ve also purchased Bob’s Red Mill farro<\/a> at the store, but it needs a little bit longer cook time to be as tender as I like it for breakfast.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a hearty, healthy way to start the day, definitely give this Pressure Cooker Lemon Cranberry Breakfast Farro recipe a try.<\/p>\n
