Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    T-giving '23. A LOT OF WORK. Very good but in true Suzanne Goin, style, this recipe makes you work for it. Quite a few of the steps could be done the day before but I would not make this again on T-giving unless I was not hosting. I would make it on a weekend when I was not otherwise busy. It is a lovely salad and holds well. The technique for the farro prep is solid - could use as a stand alone. You could combine the steps for the shallots at the end and the onions/kale at the beginning with good results. The roasted squash (delicata) again, is a great stand alone component. I added pom seeds and might consider adding a goat cheese if serving as a main.

    This is a winner of a winter dish, perfectly cozy in cold weather. I subbed cooked wheatberries for the farro as that is what I had on hand, and it worked very well.

    As the recipe notes warn, lots of steps. Squash is diced and roasted (I doubled the amount of squash the recipe called for, and used a combination of kabocha and butternut squashes.) Farro is cooked with aromatics. Kale is cooked long and slow with onions, garlic and other seasonings. (I didn't cook the kale per the recipe- I didn't want to use as much oil so I added water instead.) At the end, the farro is sauteed with butter and shallot, and then combined with the other elements into a mega dish of deliciousness. Great combination of items and if each element is prepared in advance, the completed dish will come together quickly.
