Add another 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan over medium heat, and add the shallots. Cook for 5 minutes, or until golden. Add half of the mushrooms, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Return the farro or barley to the pan and add the stock and vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook for 35 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
