Step 1
If needed, rehydrate the
Dried Morel Mushrooms (20 g)
, according to package directions. When the morels have reconstituted, drain and pat dry. Set aside until needed.
Step 2
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Snap off the tough ends of the
Asparagus (225 g)
, then cut each stalk into thirds or 2-inch pieces.
Step 3
Add to the boiling water and cook just until tender, 1-2 minutes. Once tender, immediately transfer to the ice water to shock them. Once cooled, drain and set aside until needed.
Step 4
When ready to cook, add the
Vegetable Stock (840 mL)
to a pot, and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the
Butter (30 g)
and 2-counts of
Olive Oil (as needed)
. Add the
Shallot (1)

and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 9
Add the
White Wine (120 mL)
and cook until absorbed, stirring frequently.
Step 10
Add a ladle of the hot stock to the risotto and stir until absorbed, 3-5 minutes. Repeat until all of the stock is used or absorbed and the farro is nice and tender. It's done once the farro is soft and tender. While cooking, constantly taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
