Baked Farro with Artichoke and Peas

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Place a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the Dutch oven and sauté the onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the faro and stir until coated. Continue to cook for a couple minutes. Stir in the strained tomatoes, vegetable stock, fresh basil, dried parsley, and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Stir in ¾ cups of the parmesan cheese.

Cover the Dutch oven with foil and poke a few holes in the foil. Place the Dutch oven in the oven and bake until the farro has absorbed all of the liquid, about 35-45 minutes. Remove the farro from the oven and remove the foil. Stir in the remaining cheese, artichokes hearts, and peas. Place back in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper accordingly.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 2-5 minutes before serving. Serve and enjoy! If you like, grate more parmesan cheese on top.
