Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • vegetable stock (divided) (2 1/2 cups)
  • salt (1/2 tsp.)
  • bay leaf (1)
  • uncooked pearled farro (1 cup)
  • sliced cremini mushrooms (5 cups)
  • chopped kale (6 cups)
  • cloves garlic, minced (3)
  • tamari (1 tbsp.)
  • white miso (1 tsp.)
  • nutritional yeast (1 tbsp.)
  • fresh lemon juice (1 tbsp.)
  • chopped toasted walnuts (1/3 cup)
  • ground black pepper (1/8 tsp.)

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, add 2 cups vegetable stock, salt, bay leaf, and farro. Bring to a boil, and then immediately reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until farro is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.



  2. While farro is cooking, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of vegetable stock over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add kale, garlic, tamari, miso, nutritional yeast, and remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable stock. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until kale is wilted and tender.



  3. Add cooked farro to mushroom and kale mixture. Add in lemon juice, toasted walnuts, and black pepper; stir until combined. Serve hot or at room temperature.
