Rinse the farro and cook it covered with water and a pinch of salt in the pressure cooker for about 10 minutes, after the first whistle. Release the steam, drain, and set aside.

Chop the onion and sauté in a pan with a bit of olive oil, add the vegetables cut into small pieces, some salt, sauté for a few minutes then add a splash of water and continue cooking, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes.
The vegetables should not be overcooked.
Add the cooked farro to the pan with the vegetables, stir and mix well, if needed add a bit of olive oil, fresh basil leaves and serve the farro warm or cold.
