Farro Perlato Cereal
  1. 1

    Put the farro in a bowl, cover it with several inches of cool water, and let it sit in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight; then drain.

  2. 2

    Put the farro in a saucepan and cover it with water; stir in a pinch of salt and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes; then drain.

  3. 3

    Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla bean with seeds, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warm, 5 to 7 minutes; remove the vanilla bean and add the farro to the milk mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
