Heat a pan over high heat.

Add enough EVOO to coat the bottom, about 2-3 tablespoons. Crack the pepper into the pan and toast until aromatic, maybe 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add farro and toast until aromatic, maybe 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add liquid and seal the pressure cooker. Cook at 1 bar for 15 minutes. Depressurize until cool running water. If there’s extra liquid in the pan, cook uncovered over medium-low until evaporated or absorbed, stirring often.
