Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 bulb fennel diced
  • 3 carrots sliced on bias
  • 1 clove garlic smashed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup farro rinsed
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (fire roasted if available)
  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 15-ounce can white cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups leafy greens spinach, kale, or chard
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh dill optional
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion, fennel and carrots until they start to soften – about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, oregano and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Toss in the bay leaves and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the farro and stir well to coat.
  3. Add the tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and simmer until the farro is tender – about 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Add the beans and greens and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the greens have wilted. Stir in the fresh parsley and season again to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Serve in bowls with shaved Parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle with a little fresh dill if using.
