   Simmer Farro

   Simmer the rinsed farro with water and salt, partly covered, until the grains are tender with a chewy center, about 25 minutes. · 25 min

   What to look for: The grains look plump and most water is absorbed.

3. 3
   Boil Egg

   Prepare Produce

5. 5
   Wilt Vegetables

   Heat olive oil in a skillet, add tomato and spinach, and cook just until the spinach slumps and the tomato looks glossy. · 3 min

   What to look for: The spinach is wilted and bright green.

6. 6
   Finish Farro

   Drain any extra water from the farro, then fold in Parmesan, black pepper, and the warm vegetables until lightly creamy. · 2 min

   What to look for: The grains are lightly coated and glossy.

7. 7
   Peel Egg

   Peel the cooled eggs carefully, then cut each one in half so the yolk can run into the warm grains. · 2 min
