Cooking Steps

Roast sweet potatoes
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp olive oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, switching baking sheet positions halfway through.)
Cook farro
2
  • Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add farro, half the Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. 
  • Cook uncovered for 16-20 min, until farro is tender but still firm to the bite. Strain farro, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep and make salad
3
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/2-in pieces.
  • Halve cucumber lengthwise. Cut into 1/2-inch half moons.
  • Roughly chop mint.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • To a small bowl, add tomatoes, cucumber and half the mint. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
Make yogurt sauce and toast seeds
4
  • To a small bowl, add yogurt, half the lemon zest, half the lemon juice, half the garlic and half the mint. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. 
  • When hot, add sunflower seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) 
  • Transfer to a plate.
Cook shrimp
5
  • Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with remaining Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend.
  • To the same pan (from step 4), heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add shrimp and remaining garlic. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**
  • Add remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
Finish and plate
6
  • Fluff farro and stir in remaining mint and remaining lemon zest.
  • Divide farro, roasted sweet potatoes and tomato-cucumber salad between plates.
  • Place shrimp on top of farro.
  • Dollop yogurt sauce and sprinkle sunflower seeds over top of shrimp.
