Make
- Mix lemon juice, first part of oregano, sour cream, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then garlic to heated oil. As soon as you can smell the garlic, add kale stems and red onions with some salt. Saute for ~3 minutes until softened. Next add in crushed tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, second part of oregano, and chickpeas. Cook for another 5 minutes letting flavors develop. Add in kale leaves, as much as can fit into the pan. Wilt leaves and add more as room is made in the pan. Once leaves are wilted, remove from heat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes if you want some heat. Top with crumbled feta and serve over farro.
- Toss dressing with cucumbers, tomatoes, and spinach. Enjoy with saute!
- If you're making tomorrow night's dinner, you can get a head start on marinating.
