Cooking Steps
• In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; roughly chop leaves if desired.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, Tuscan Heat Spice, garlic powder, and flour; cook, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant and flour has formed into a paste, 30-60 seconds. • Slowly whisk in 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) and stock concentrates. Whisk until mixture is combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Add kale, crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted and tender and stew has slightly thickened, 7-9 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide stew and rice between shallow bowls in separate sections. Garnish stew with scallion greens and Parmesan. Serve.

- Texture: Remove tough kale stems before cooking for a better eating experience. A few found the stew too thick.
Reviews from our home cooks
It had a lot of flavor and easy to put together. The only problem was the kale, because the stems were left on when it was chopped, it did make it difficult to eat. Maybe think of sending whole kale leaves instead so we can remove stems.
A very good dish for a cold evening. I ended up putting the stew on top of the rice and it was a nice, healthy meal.
This was delicious. For just me, I was able to get three servings it was so filling.
I was out of the soup thing and this brought me back. Really good stew
Absolutely amazing. Please make more recipes available similar to this.
Good portions- had leftovers after feeding 2 people. Easy to make
Filling and warm, but slightly overpowered by the tomato tang. Might have been nicer to have a ham flavor instead to increase the compliment to the creamy bean.
This was really good but again I feel like it's not enough for two people. I ended using my own rice and I added some ground turkey and it was a hit.
The flavor was a bit thin - some smoked paprika would add more dimension.
This was pretty good. Herbs need to simmer with the tomato sauce for a fuller flavor.
