The Mise en Place

Tahini Lemon Sauce (0/4)
To Finish (Optional) (0/1)
My veggies look sad and pale, not roasted.
Ah, I see. This usually happens when the pan is too crowded or the oven isn't quite hot enough. For that beautiful char, make sure you're using a large enough pan so the vegetables…
My tahini sauce is super thick and a bit grainy.
No problem, we can fix that. Just start adding a little water, a tablespoon at a time, and whisk vigorously. You're looking for a smooth, pourable consistency. If it tastes a littl…
Chef's Notes
Cook farro and roast vegetables up to 4 days ahead. Keep sauce separate and thin with water before serving.
The Method
ROAST
Prep aheadHeat oven to 425F (220C). Toss cauliflower (1 whole) and carrots (4 whole) with olive oil (2 tbsp), salt (a pinch), and pepper. Roast 25-30 minutes, stirring once, until browned and tender.
Overcrowding: If the tray is too full, vegetables will steam in their own juices instead of browning.
Vegetables have browned edges, not pale softness
BOIL
Prep aheadCook farro in salted water (¼ cups) until tender but chewy, 20-25 minutes. Drain well.
Under-salting: Farro is porous; if the water isn't salty, the grain will taste bland no matter how much you season it later.
Farro is chewy, not crunchy or mushy
WHISK
Prep aheadWhisk tahini (⅓ cups), lemon juice (3 tbsp), garlic (1 clove), and 2 tbsp water (¼ cups). Add more water 1 tbsp at a time until creamy and pourable. Season with a pinch of salt.
Seizing: Tahini can stiffen rapidly when acid is added. Add water gradually to maintain an emulsion.
Sauce is creamy, not split or chalky
ASSEMBLE
Divide farro into bowls, top with roasted vegetables, drizzle sauce, and finish with pumpkin seeds (¼ cups) if using.
Soggy components: Avoid over-saucing; the tahini should coat the grain, not turn the bowl into a soup.
Balanced bowl: chewy grain, roasted veg, creamy sauce
