Prepare the vegetables, grain, and beans
Measuring Cups
Cutting Board
Can opener
Chef's knife

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.

1 Each yellow onion
3 Each carrot
3 Count garlic
1 Cup pearl barley
2 Can navy beans
5 Cup kale
2
Soften the onion and carrots
Wooden spoon
Large Dutch oven

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft and golden at the edges.

Keep the pot handle turned inward while cooking.

2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Each yellow onion
3 Each carrot
3
Toast the barley and seasonings
Measuring Spoons
Wooden spoon
Large Dutch oven

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.

3 Count garlic
1 Cup pearl barley
1 Teaspoon dried thyme
1 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
4
Simmer the barley stew
Measuring Cups
Wooden spoon
Large Dutch oven

Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, then scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer, partially cover, and cook for 35 to 40 minutes until the barley is chewy-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.

28 Ounce tomatoes
5 Cup vegetable broth
1 Cup pearl barley
5
Add beans and kale
Wooden spoon
Large Dutch oven

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.

2 Can navy beans
5 Cup kale
6
Rest, season, and serve
Wooden spoon
Large Dutch oven

Remove from the heat and let the pot rest for 5 minutes. Stir well, taste for seasoning, and serve as a thick, hearty bowl.

1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
