The ingredients for Thyme-scented farro are:

4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups farro (10 ounces)
1 small onion, finely diced
2 thyme sprigs
3 cups water
1 tsp Kosher salt

Here is how you make Thyme-scented farro:

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the farro and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly toasted; the grains will turn slightly opaque just before browning. Add the onion and thyme and cook over low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the water and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over very low heat until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Fluff the grains and discard the thyme sprigs. Season the grains with salt and serve.
