Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups dried porcini, black trumpet, or mixed wild mushrooms; 1/4 cup unsalted butter; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 cup roughly chopped onion; 1 garlic clove, minced; 2 cups semipearled or regular farro*; About 1 tsp. kosher salt; 10 sprigs thyme, leaves minced; 1 cup very roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley; 1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups dried porcini, black trumpet, or mixed wild mushrooms
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup roughly chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups semipearled or regular farro*
About 1 tsp. kosher salt
10 sprigs thyme, leaves minced
1 cup very roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

1
Bring dried porcini and 8 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat, covered. Remove from heat and let sit 1 hour. Lift mushrooms from soaking liquid and chop coarsely; set liquid and mushrooms aside.
2
Meanwhile, melt butter with oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and farro and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent and farro turns toasty brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp. salt.
3
Strain porcini soaking liquid through a cheesecloth-lined strainer into a bowl. Pour 1 cup liquid into farro and cook, stirring, until nearly absorbed, about 5 minutes. Repeat until all liquid has been used and farro is tender, about 1 hour.
4
Stir in thyme, parsley, reserved porcini, and cheese, and cook another few minutes to meld flavors. Season with salt to taste.
5
*Find semipearled farro at amazon.com, or use regular farro: Soak 1 hour in 2 in. of water to cover, then drain and cook as directed--except add all the liquid at once (no amount of stirring will make it creamy, so save yourself the trouble).
