Instructions
- Add farro, 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt and 3 cups (6 cups) water to a medium pot.
- Cover, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered until farro is tender, 16-18 min.
- Drain, then return farro to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) rosemary leaves from the stem. Finely chop.
- Add sweet potatoes, rosemary and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until softened slightly, 10-12 min.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Drizzle half the maple syrup over sweet potatoes, then toss to coat. Continue roasting until tender and golden-brown, 8-9 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan.
- Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on walnuts so they don't burn!)
- Transfer toasted walnuts to a small bowl.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Core, then cut pear into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Whisk together mustard, vinegar, remaining maple syrup and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil in a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then whisk again to combine.
- Add parsley and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with farro. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until butter melts.
- When sweet potatoes are done, add baby spinach, pears and sweet potatoes to the bowl with vinaigrette. Toss to combine.
- Divide farro between plates. Top with salad.
- Sprinkle with walnuts, then crumble goat cheese over top.
