Cook this recipe
- low-sodium vegetable broth-6 cups
- yellow onion-1 medium
- butternut squash cubes-4 cups
- canned cannellini beans-2 cans
- kale-4 cups
- pearl barley-3/4 cup
- fire-roasted diced tomatoes-1 can
- olive oil-2 tablespoons
- dried rosemary-1 teaspoon
- smoked paprika-1 teaspoon
- kosher salt-1 teaspoon
- black pepper-1/2 teaspoon
Dice the onion, rinse the beans and chop the kale, removing tough stems. Cut squash into even ¾-inch cubes and set out a heavy 6-quart pot with a lid.
Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while chopping.
Heat the oil in the 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and lightly golden, stirring often.
Stir in the butternut squash, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the squash with spices.
Add the pearl barley, fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices, and vegetable broth. Stir well, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer.
Keep the pot at a steady simmer rather than a hard boil to reduce splattering and prevent scorching.
Cover and simmer gently for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue until the barley is tender but chewy and squash easily pierced with a fork.
Use oven mitts when handling the hot pot and lid.
Stir in the cannellini beans and kale. Simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, until the beans are heated through and the kale is tender and bright green.
Use caution when stirring the hot stew, since thick liquids can splatter.
Rest the stew off the heat for 5 minutes to thicken slightly, then serve warm.
