Meanwhile, thinly slice the artichokes, distribute them in the jar, and add the farro, broth, and sautéed green onion. Mix the ingredients well, then clean the edge of the jar and clasp it.
Place the jar in the microwave and start cooking for 5 minutes at reduced power, compared to the power given by the water test, I used 440 watts out of a tested 600 watts power. At the end of cooking, leave the jar closed for 20 minutes to complete the cooking and create a vacuum seal in the jar.
