Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Skinless cod
3 cups	711ml	Water
1/2 cup	118ml	Farro
4 tablespoons	60ml	Unsalted butter
2 cups	292g / 10oz	Diced leeks
1		Carrot - scraped and diced
2 tablespoons	30ml	Minced parsley
2 cups	474ml	Vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup	118ml	Dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Fine sea salt
		Grinding of black pepper
2 tablespoons	30ml	Freshly-squeezed lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Simmer the cod in the water in a saute pan just until the fish turns milky-white and easily flakes. Drain the fish with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. With a fork, flake the fish and set aside.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a copper or heavy-clad 2-quart pot. Stir in the farro, leeks, carrots, and parsley, and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, to coat all the grains.

When the leeks are wilted and soft, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the broth and stir the mixture until all the broth is absorbed. Continue adding small amounts of liquid, allowing the grain to absorb each Add the wine and cook the mixture just until the grains are no longer hard; they should remain firm but cooked.

Gently stir in the cod and cook slowly just until the mixture is hot. Stir in the salt, pepper and lemon juice. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
