Wash produce before use

Soak tomatoes, cook farro

In a small saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Carefully remove 1 cup water and pour into a small bowl with sundried tomatoes. Set tomatoes aside to soak and rehydrate, 5 to 7 minutes. Toss farro into remaining water and boil until soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain water from farro and set aside. Meanwhile:
*Cut fennel in half, remove core and thinly slice.
*Peel garlic and thinly slice.

Braise fennel

In a medium sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium until shimmering. Sauté fennel with a pinch of salt until just soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir garlic and red pepper flakes (if you like a kick) into pan and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add stock, turn heat up to medium high and braise until fennel is completely soft and most of liquid is evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile: *Drain rehydrated tomatoes and coarsely chop.
*Coarsely chop artichoke hearts.
*Rinse and dry basil, pick leaves off stems and thinly slice.

Finish, plate

Toss farro, tomatoes and artichoke into pan with fennel and stir to combine. Remove from heat, stir in basil and pine nuts. Divide evenly between two plates and top with parmesan cheese.
