๐ช Starting from raw? The basics (2)
Cooking farro
Boil it like pasta: plenty of salted water, 25โ30 minutes until chewy-tender, then drain. 1 cup dry makes about 2ยฝ cups.
Soaking cashews
Cover with boiling water for 15 minutes (or cold water for 2+ hours) and drain โ that's all 'soaked' means. It's what makes them blend into silky cream.
