Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


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

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.
