  • Summary

    Purple kale or curly kale can be substituted for the Tuscan variety (also called lacinato); chop the sturdy leaves instead of tearing them. Spelt is a good alternative to farro, with a similar taste and texture. We prefer French feta, which is typically milder and creamier, to other varieties. This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup farro
    • 2 cups packed torn Tuscan kale leaves (about 2 ounces)
    • 1/4 red onion, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
    • 1/4 cup packed mint leaves, thinly sliced, plus whole small leaves for serving
    • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 1/4 cup crumbled feta, preferably French
