How to Make Farro Flavored With Orange And Smoked Paprika

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes, until softened.
Add 1 cup farro, 2 cups vegetable broth (or water), 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the zest of 1 orange. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the farro is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If using a rice cooker, follow manufacturer's instructions.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the farro with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon of orange juice and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional).
Serve warm, garnished with an orange slice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
