Farro & Sun-Dried Tomato Fritters 

Print This Recipe Total time Yield 12Published

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup farro
  • 2 cup vegetable broth
  • ½ small onion, minced
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, minced
  • 2 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, minced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 pinch each kosher salt & black pepper
  • 2 cup or more vegetable oil, as needed for frying

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the farro and cook, stirring occasionally until the grains are coated and you begin to hear a popping sound sound. Stir in the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the farro is cooked through but al dente, about 12 more minutes.

Transfer the farro to a bowl let it cool about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley and the eggs. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile heat about ¼‑inch vegetable oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat until quite hot, but not yet smoking. Using a large spoon, drop batter in 2‑tablespoonful mounds into oil. With a small spatula or butter knife, gently flatten each mound and fry until golden, about 4 minutes per side, carefully flipping once (adjust heat if browning too quickly). Drain on paper towels. Season with more salt and serve warm.
