Springtime Farro

1. 1

   Bring salted water to a boil in a large saucepan. Once boiling, drop in the asparagus pieces. After about one minute, use a slotted spoon or skimmer to pull out the asparagus and drop the pieces into a bowl of cold water or run under cold water. Do not drain the water in the pot as you'll use it for the farro as well.

2. 2

   Once the water comes back to a boil, put in the farro and cover pan. Lower burner and simmer for about 20 minutes. Taste farro to make sure it has softened yet is still firm on the inside - same idea as with al dente pasta. Drain the farro, reserving a half cup of the cooking liquid.

3. 3

   Place all ingredients into a large bowl and mix gently, but well. Add some of the reserved cooking water if it seems dry.

4. 4

   Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
