Method:

Place the beans in a bowl, cover with water and leave to soak for at least 7 hours or overnight. In a deep saucepan, sauté the onion until soft. Add the carrots and celery and cook for several minutes more. Add the pancetta and fry for 3 minutes before adding the garlic, rosemary and oregano. Drain the beans and add to the pot. Pour in the stock and add the Parmesan rinds.

Cover partially with a lid and simmer for 2 hours. Add the farro and cook for another hour or until the beans are completely soft. Add a little more water if the liquid has reduced too much. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. NB: Don’t forget to remove the Parmesan rind!
