Hi there. I’m Letty from Letty’s Kitchen<\/a>, the blog about seasonal vegetarian cooking and desserts with a healthier twist. Thanks Barbara for sharing some of my pressure cooker recipes here!<\/p>\n

What is Farro?<\/h3>\n

Farro is the Italian word for ancient hulled wheat. This old-world grain looks a lot like wheat or spelt or einkorn berries, all of which are capturing the attention of food lovers these days, and all of which require long cooking times to soften the kernels. A pressure cooker cuts the cooking time of farro in half<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To make the pressure cooker farro salad recipe, I used organic, whole grain Emmer farro, from Bluebird Grain Farms in Washington State. The farro cooks into a plump chewy berry with hints of cashew nuts and cinnamon\u2014the best! You can substitute spelt berries or wheat berries in this recipe.<\/p>\n

I love cherries! My husband Robbie loves how the tender farro nuggets feel on his tongue. This unusual salad surprised us both.
