Vegetarian White Bean, Farro & Greens Casserole

Hearty, fiber-rich, and nourishing, this is a versatile dish: you can add mushrooms or roasted broccoli for extra depth or swap out the farro for brown rice or barley. Pair with a simple green salad dressed with olive oil and lemon or add roasted vegetables on the side for extra color and antioxidants. Serve the leftovers for lunch - it reheats beautifully.


WEIL Nutrition Corner™ Food As Medicine

This casserole is built around whole grains, legumes, and leafy greens, which provide soluble fiber to help lower LDL cholesterol and support steady blood sugar. Using olive oil, garlic, and herbs instead of cream or butter keeps saturated fat low while delivering rich, satisfying flavor.
