Ingredients:

Cremini

2 cloves

Garlic (smashed)

1 tsp

Kosher Salt

4 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

Heat a 3 1/2-quart pan over medium-high heat

3

Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 30 seconds

4

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and all of the water cooks out, 8 to 10 minutes

5

Remove the mushrooms to a plate with a slotted spoon

6

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the leeks

7

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the leeks, stirring often, until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes

8

Add the garlic and salt and cook 1 more minute

9

Add the farro to the pan and stir to coat the grains in the oil and toast slightly, 2 to 3 minutes

10

Deglaze with the wine and stir

11

Cook the farro, stirring occasionally, until the wine evaporates almost completely, about 8 minutes

12

Add the broth in 1-cup increments, cooking until the liquid almost completely evaporates before adding the next increment; this will take about 45 minutes to complete

13

Remember to stir often to create a creamy texture

14

When the farro is tender and absorbs almost all of the liquid, stir in the mushrooms, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano and butter

15

Continue to stir until the butter is melted in and the mixture is creamy

16

Stir in the peas at the last minute and serve
