Ingredients
1 1/2 cups semi-pearled farro, rinsed
1 small yellow onion, diced
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed, and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 to 2 tablespoons sour cream, to taste
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons minced chives
Directions
Cook the farro in a large pot of boiling, salted water according to package directions. Skim off any foam that rises during cooking. Drain, and rinse. In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, creminis, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and a generous grinding of pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid, the onions turn translucent, and the moisture nearly evaporates, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the sherry. Allow to bubble steadily until the liquid nearly boils off, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the farro and sour cream. Season with 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and additional salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm while you prepare the eggs. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a hard simmer, add the vinegar, and lower the heat to a gentle bubble. Crack 1 egg into a small ramekin. Swirl a wooden spoon in the water to create a whirlpool, then tip the egg into the swirling water. Immediately repeat with the remaining eggs, nudging the eggs to the side so they don’t clump together. Poach the eggs for exactly 3 minutes, flipping them over during the last minute of cooking. To serve, divide the farro mixture among four serving plates. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon, blot gently with paper towels, and lay atop each mound of farro. Sprinkle with the chives, and serve immediately.
