Cook Farro in Instant Pot
Start by turning on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. Melt the butter, then add the farro and give it a good stir, letting it cook for about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and mix everything together. Switch the pot to manual high pressure, lock the lid in place, and set the timer for 10 minutes. It will take around 10 to 15 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure. When the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. Once the lid is off, stir in the cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Greek seasoning until the cheese melts and everything’s creamy and combined.

Storage Tips
