Luscious Creamy Fruit Indulgence

Ingredients

4 servings

1 tablespoon butter 1 cup farro 2 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream ¾ cup grated mozzarella cheese ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)

Instructions

Cook Farro in Instant Pot

Start by turning on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. Melt the butter, then add the farro and give it a good stir, letting it cook for about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and stir everything together. Switch the Instant Pot to manual mode, seal the lid, and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. It might take around 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up. Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. When the lid is safe to open, take it off and stir in the cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Greek seasoning until everything is melted and well combined.

Serving Suggestions

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess if needed.
