Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup farro
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • ½ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

Directions

Step 1
Mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

Step 2
Combine chicken broth and farro together in a large frying pan or wok; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until farro is tender and the broth is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3
Stir olive oil mixture into farro until farro is coated. Add kale to farro mixture; cook and stir until kale is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle feta cheese over farro salad and stir until cheese is incorporated. Season salad with more salt and pepper if desired.

Cook’s Notes:

Pearled or whole grain farro can be used. For a firmer texture use less liquid and for a softer texture use more liquid when boiling the farro.
