Step by Step Method

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the semi-perarled farro until tender but still firm to bite (12-15 minutes); drain and let cool.

Step 2

IN a pot of boiling salted water cook kale for one minute; drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool; drain. Squeeze out excess water; chop kale.

Step 3

In a large saucepan (I would use the same pot for all three pots) over medium heat the oil and add the shallots and saute until soft (under 5 minutes). Add 4 cups of broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until kale is tender and almost all the broth is absorbed, stirring often (25-30 minutes). Transfer mixture to processor and puree one minute. Return puree to same saucepan and mix in farrow. Add 1/2 cup broth. Season with salt and pepper. Thin kale and farrow with more broth if desired and stir in chives.

I really enjoyed the texture of both the kale and the farro and found it enjoyable and tasty. I did up the shallots by quite a bit, added salt and freshly ground black pepper, replaced the chives with scallions (adding extra) and finished it with sprinkling of lemon juice and some fruity extra-virgin olive oil. Came out smooth. Cut the recipe in half, but it made quite a lot. So tomorrow when we have this again, I will try it with some Parmesan shavings, as Luvcookn suggested. Thank you, ellie, for sharing. Made it for Billboard and What's on the Menu tag games.

As kale lovers, we really enjoyed this dish! We did however find that it lacked seasoning. I added a good grinding of pepper and served it with grated grana padano. I really think that it screams out for garlic, which I will add next time. The farro lended a wonderful texture against the puree. Thanks for sharing Ellie! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
