Cook this recipe
- vegetable broth-5 cups
- carrots-3 each
- yellow onion-1 each
- garlic-3 cloves
- kale-5 cups
- canned crushed tomatoes-28 oz
- pearl barley-1 cup
- olive oil-2 tablespoons
- dried thyme-1 teaspoon
- canned navy beans-2 cans
- fine salt-1 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Dice the onion and carrots, mince the garlic, rinse the pearl barley, rinse and drain the navy beans, and stem and chop the kale.
Keep the chef's knife blade angled away from fingers while dicing and chopping.
Cook the onion and carrots in olive oil over medium heat until the onion is soft and golden at the edges. Stir often for 6–8 minutes. Use a Dutch oven of at least 6 quarts, with extra room if increasing the batch.
Keep the pot handle turned inward while cooking.
Stir in the garlic, pearl barley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the barley looks lightly glossy.
Add the tomatoes and broth, bring to a boil, then partially cover and simmer gently until the barley is chewy-tender. Scrape up any browned bits and stir occasionally. Start checking after 35–40 minutes; add a little water if the pot becomes dry before the barley is tender.
Use care when lifting the lid, as hot steam can burn.
Keep tomato-rich stew at a gentle simmer to reduce bubbling and spattering.
Stir in the navy beans and kale. Simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, until the beans are hot through and the kale is tender but still green.
Stir gently to avoid splashes from the hot tomato-rich stew.
Remove from the heat and let the pot rest for 5 minutes. Stir well, taste for seasoning, and serve as a thick, hearty bowl.
