Ingredients
Method
Make the sauce first by slowly caramelising the onions, garlic and chilli in extra virgin olive oil. Add the tomato paste and cook out, add the diced tomatoes and reduce. Season to taste. Bring 3 litres of water to the boil. Wash the farfo under cold running water, place in the boiling water and cook for approximately 18 minutes. The grains should be cooked but still slightly al dente. Strain the farro and add to the tomato sugo. Stir in the olives and fresh basil. If desired, stir in extra olive oil for flavour and richness. The grains are ready to be used as an accompaniment for almost any dish.
