Pour farro into a sieve or strainer. Rinse with cold water and drain. Pour into a bowl and cover with cold water. Leave for 6 or 8 hours (or overnight).
In a large pot, steam broccoli until barely tender and still bright and happy green, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Empty the pot and you can use it to cook the farro. Heat oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they sizzle and turn fragrant, a few minutes.
Add the farro and stir, letting the grains toast and get a nice gloss from the oil. Pour in the vegetable broth, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, then add the wine and stir. Cover for another 15 minutes or until the farro has grown nice and plump and creamy, absorbing most of the liquid.
Gently stir in the basil and season with sea salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast, if you’re adding. Add broccoli just at the end to heat through. Keeps covered and refrigerated for several days. Reheat just before serving.
