Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the beef broth with 1/2 cup of
water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Remove from the heat, cover and
keep warm.
In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat 2 tablespoons
of the olive oil. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Add half of the
short ribs to the casserole, spreading the pieces out, and cook over moderately
high heat, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Using a
slotted spoon, transfer the browned meat to a plate. Repeat with the remaining
short ribs.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the
casserole. Add the thyme sprigs, garlic, onions, carrot and parsnip and season
with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables
are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the farro and the browned short
ribs. Add the wine and cook until evaporated, stirring and scraping the bottom
of the casserole, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the warm broth, cover partially
and cook over moderately low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Repeat
this process twice, adding 1 cup of warm broth each time and cooking for about
15 minutes between additions, stirring occasionally.
Increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 1 cup of warm
broth, 1/2 cup at a time and stirring constantly, allowing it to be absorbed
before adding more. Cook the farrotto until creamy and the farro is al dente,
about 5 minutes longer. Remove the casserole from the heat and discard the
thyme sprigs. Stir in the butter, chopped thyme and the 1/4 cup of grated
Parmigiano. Season the farrotto with salt and pepper and serve hot, passing
additional Parmigiano at the table.
