Roast Pork With Farro Salad Recipes

MUSTARD-CRUSTED PORK WITH FARRO AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Place pork on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet; season all over with salt and pepper. Whisk mustard, mustard powder, and 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl to blend. Rub over pork and let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Roast pork until beginning to brown, 25-30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and roast until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 25-35 minutes longer, depending on thickness of roast.
• Meanwhile, cook farro in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 30-35 minutes; drain.
• Whisk vinegar, caraway seeds, honey, and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl; set vinaigrette aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vinaigrette in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add farro and carrots and cook, tossing often, until carrots soften and farro is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, parsley, and half of remaining vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Slice pork. Serve with farro salad. Pass remaining vinaigrette alongside.
• DO AHEAD: Farro can be cooked 2 days ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill. Reheat before using.

CHERRY FARRO SALAD WITH SWEET VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk oil, maple syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.
• Cook and stir walnuts in a small skillet over low heat until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Bring chicken broth, farro, oregano, and basil to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Transfer farro to a glass bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes more.
• Mix walnuts, green apples, dried cherries, and parsley into farro. Drizzle dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat; refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

DILL-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FARRO, PEA, AND BLISTERED TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix garlic, 2 Tbsp. dill, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and pepper in a small bowl with a fork to create a paste. Pat pork tenderloin dry and rub with paste.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Sear pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 10-12 minutes. Add tomatoes, then transfer to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork registers 145°F and tomatoes are lightly blistered and softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl. Add arugula, farro, peas, feta, and remaining 3 Tbsp. dill and 1 Tbsp. lemon zest; toss well to combine (arugula will wilt slightly when dressed). Gently fold in roasted tomatoes.
• Slice pork and transfer to a platter; season with sea salt, if using. Serve with farro salad alongside.
• Do Ahead
