6 servings
40 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 ribs celery
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 32 oz unsalted vegetable broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 cup pearled farro
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt-free roasted garlic-herb seasoning
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can reduced-sodium cannellini beans
  • 4 cups baby kale
  • ¼ bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • 6 teaspoons reduced-fat feta cheese, divided

Steps

    1. Chop carrots, onion, and celery (1 cup each); chop garlic. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon), then juice (1 tablespoon).
    2. Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil, carrots, onions, celery, and garlic in pot; cook and stir 3 minutes.
    3. Stir in broth, tomatoes, farro, oregano, and seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Drain beans.
    4. Stir in kale and beans; cook 5–7 minutes until farro and kale are tender. Chop parsley.
    5. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley. Divide stew among serving bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon cheese. Serve.

    Note: You can add more vegetable broth to thin the stew. The farro will absorb more liquid as the stew stands.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
