There’s a moment after the holidays—when the decorations move back to the attic and the last of the baked goods have been consumed—when eating healthier becomes a priority. It’s still Winter, so for most of us, easy, regular access to fresh vegetables is months away. If you’re in a part of the country where the stages of winter are defined by the number of layers of outerwear necessary to leave the house, then pay attention to this dish. It would make a great meatless dinner or a very happy and healthy desk lunch. It’s filling, with wholly nutritious whole-grain farro (an ancient grain thought to have fueled the Roman legions), butternut squash, and baby kale—the miniature superfood. Eat this for lunch and you’ll feel like you could conquer a city … or at least your next pitch to the client.
