    In a small saucepan, heat the stock and keep warm over low heat.

    In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat extra virgin olive oil over
    medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring frequently,
    until shallots are translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Add farro and cook an additional minute, stirring often. Add salt,
    pepper and 1 cup of vegetable stock. Let simmer, stirring frequently,
    until most of stock has been absorbed, about 4 to 5 minutes. Continue
    adding the remaining stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently, for
    approximately 20 minutes, or until farro is cooked through and
    slightly chewy.

    Add chopped asparagus and frozen peas with the last addition of
    stock--let simmer, while stirring frequently, a final 6 to 7 minutes,
    or until stock has been absorbed, asparagus is crisp tender and peas
    are warmed through.

    Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest, parsley, and nutritional yeast,
    if using. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
