Broccoli Rabe with Farro & White Beans

Looking for a hearty, plant-forward dish that’s loaded with fiber, protein, and big flavor?
This Mediterranean-inspired bowl brings together slightly bitter broccoli rabe, creamy white beans, nutty farro, and a hint of heat from red pepper flakes—all in under 30 minutes.

Serve it as a satisfying vegetarian main or a vibrant side alongside grilled chicken or fish.

⸻

Ingredients
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 lb broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped
• ½ cup cooked farro
• 1 (15-oz) can white beans (such as cannellini), drained and rinsed
• ¼ cup chicken or vegetable stock
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

⸻

Directions
1. Cook the farro: Prepare according to package instructions; set aside.
2. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Add vegetables and beans: Stir in broccoli rabe, white beans, and stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.
4. Combine: Add the cooked farro and toss to coat. Warm for another 2 minutes.
5. Serve: Top with Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

⸻

Tips
• For a vegan version, skip the Parmesan or use nutritional yeast.
• Swap in spinach or kale if you prefer milder greens.
• A squeeze of lemon just before serving brightens everything up.

⸻

Why We Love It
• Farro provides plant-based protein and slow-digesting fiber.
• White beans add extra protein and gut-friendly fiber.
• Broccoli rabe delivers vitamins A, C, and K, and its natural bitterness supports digestion.

Yoga & Learn: Heal Your Gut

Despite this, many people continue to experience gut-related symptoms—bloating, fatigue, food sensitivities, irregular digestion, brain fog, and more—without understanding the root cause.
