Asiago White Beans with Farro Kale & Tomatos
This one pot wonder is a healthy combination of chewy farro aka my latest food obsession, white beans, tomato sauce (Dear DeLallo, I luv you and thank you for not adding sugar or other unnecessary things to your dreamy tomato basil sauce), tender bright green baby kale, halved grape tomatoes, and a handful of Asiago or Parmesan or – I’m gonna go there – shredded taco cheese if you don’t have anything else and you need to finish up a bag of it left over from your enchiladas verdes last week. Just lock me up right now. I am a complete and utter food criminal.

Place the farro in a rice cooker with the broth. Start the rice cooker, or if you don't have a rice cooker, just cook it in a small pan on the stove according to package directions. (Farro takes a minimum of 30 minutes to cook so I always use the brown rice setting on the rice cooker. Soaking it overnight does speed up the cook time, but I never think ahead to do that and it always turns out just fine as long as you cook it long enough to be soft and chewy.) Add the white beans, grap tomatoes, kale, Asiago, and tomato sauce directly into the rice cooker or the pot on the stove. Stir it all up, season with additional salt and pepper and maybe a snip of fresh herbs, and you're done.
