- 2 1/2 cups vegetable stock (divided)
- 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions
-
In a medium pot, add 2 cups vegetable stock, salt, bay leaf, and farro. Bring to a boil, and then immediately reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until farro is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

While farro is cooking, in a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of vegetable stock over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add kale, garlic, tamari, miso, nutritional yeast, and remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable stock. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, or until kale is wilted and tender.

Add cooked farro to mushroom and kale mixture. Add in lemon juice, toasted walnuts, and black pepper; stir until combined. Serve hot or at room temperature.
