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

Steps:

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