Spanish Farro Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Spanish Farro Recipe). I learned how to make Spanish rice at a Mexican restaurant where I worked part-time years ago. Here, we're substituting the 'ancient' grain of farro for the rice, and I think it's even easier to cook perfectly than rice.
