Print Recipe
4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups yellow onions diced
  • 1/2 cup Bluebird Split Emmer Farro
  • 2 pounds mushrooms sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill plus extra for topping
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • fresh parsley minced

Methods

  • In a Dutch oven melt the butter.
  • Add onions, saute over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add mushroom, salt, dill, and paprika. Saute until mushrooms release their moisture (about 8 minutes).
  • Add split farro. Stir well and cover. Let cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in lemon juice, stock, and white wine. Cover and cook about 20-25 minutes, stirring often.
  • Stir in milk; add black pepper to taste and more salt if needed.
  • Pulse ingredients quickly with an immersion blender, careful to not over blend, leaving chunks of mushrooms for texture.
  • Whisk in the sour cream. Do not boil or cook on high heat. Gently keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Top with freshly minced parsley and sprinkle with dried dill.
