Ingredients for Honeynut Squash With Radicchio and Miso

  • 110g whole grain or semipearled farro

  • Kosher salt

  • 3 honeynut squash, halved, seeds removed, or 1 acorn squash, seeds removed, cut into thick wedges

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 80ml pine nuts

  • 1 garlic clove, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon white miso

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives, plus more for serving

  • 2 small heads of Treviso radicchio, outer leaves removed and halved, cores quartered

  • 1 Granny Smith or other tart apple, very thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 218°C. Cook farro in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 25–35 minutes. Drain; spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.

Meanwhile, toss squash with 1 tablespoon oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Turn squash cut side down and roast until browned and tender, 20–30 minutes.

Bring pine nuts and remaining 60ml oil to a very gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook at a very low simmer until nuts are light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in garlic and miso. Let cool (it will look a bit chunky and broken at this point). Add vinegar and 1 tablespoon chives and whisk until dressing is smooth and emulsified; season with salt.

Toss farro and a generous tablespoonful of dressing in a large bowl; season with salt.

Toss radicchio and apple and 2 tablespoons dressing in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Season salad with salt.

Arrange farro on a platter; top with squash and salad. Drizzle remaining dressing over and top with more chives.
