- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala

Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the onions until they are golden brown and caramelized, stirring frequently to scrape up the fond from the bottom of the pan, about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the Marsala. Add the kale and cook just until the kale wilts. Remove the pan from the heat.

- In a large bowl combine the farro, onion and kale mixture and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, drizzle enough olive oil over the farro to moisten it. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding additional lemon juice for extra brightness.
- Spoon the farro onto a large serving platter. Scatter the hazelnuts over the top and serve at room temperature.
