Ingredients

  • A single spoonful of butter

  • Two cups of rich chicken stock
  • Two tablespoons of indulgent heavy whipping cream
  • Three-quarters cup of tangy grated mozzarella cheese
  • Half a cup of savory grated Parmesan cheese
  • A dash of Greek seasoning like Cavender's®

Step 1

Begin by activating a versatile pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot®, and opt for the Saute function to start the cooking process. Begin by melting a knob of butter and incorporating the farro, ensuring to continuously stir for approximately 2 minutes to enhance flavors. Next, introduce the chicken stock into the mix and stir thoroughly for a cohesive blend of ingredients.

Step 2

Transition to the Manual setting, then proceed to seal the lid securely. Adjust the pressure to high based on the manufacturer's guidelines, setting the timer for a precise 10 minutes. Allow a window of 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to steadily intensify within the cooker, enhancing the cooking process.

Step 3

When the time is up, cautiously release the pressure using the quick-release technique, following the appliance's instructions for approximately 5 minutes. Unlock and lift the lid, revealing the aromatic concoction within. Incorporate a splash of cream, along with a generous sprinkling of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and a touch of Greek seasoning. Stir the mixture until the cheeses melt seamlessly into the dish, creating a creamy and flavorful texture.
