Hearty Mango-Infused Farro Cream Porridge Prepared with Coconut

Hearty Mango-Infused Farro Cream Porridge Prepared with Coconut

Swap your usual oatmeal for a tropical twist with this Farro Porridge with Coconut and Mango. This hearty breakfast recipe is perfect for those seeking a more exotic breakfast option, offering a nutty flavor combined with the sweetness of coconut and the juiciness of mango.

What you'll need: Farro is a whole-grain relative of wheat with a unique nutty flavor. You can find it in the bulk section of well-stocked grocery stores and most Italian grocery stores. If you're having trouble locating it, spelt can serve as a suitable substitute.

In this recipe, we've experimented with both pearled and unpearled farro, finding that both work perfectly. The pearled farro cooks faster and has a creamier consistency, while the unpearled farro retains its characteristic chewy texture.
