Instructions:

  1. Reconstitute Matriark Foods Upcycled Vegetable Broth Concentrate with water in a stock pot and bring to a boil, Reduce to a low simmer. Keep over very low heat.

  4. Add the hot Matriark Foods Vegetable Broth to the pot (reserve 2 cups of hot stock), stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer, cover, and cook for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so, until the farro is tender and the risotto is thick. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Fold in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and lemon juice and stir to combine. Fold in the thawed peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the pot from heat, transfer to a hotel pan and place into the warmer.
