Ingredients List
  1. 1 1/2 cups farro

Directions

Print

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Wrap beets individually in foil and place on baking sheet. Bake about 40-50 minutes, or until tender. Baby beets will cook in approximately 25-30 minutes. If beets are cooked through, knife will easily slide in and out when inserted.

2. Allow beets to cool slightly. Peel off skin and cut into halves or wedges.

3. While beets cook, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add farro and cook according to package directions or until tender with a slight bite. Drain.

4. While farro cooks, warm a small pan over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the chopped shallot. Season with salt. Cook about 4-5 minutes or until tender and translucent. Stir in cooked farro and season with salt. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and Maille Dijon Originale Mustard. Slowly incorporate olive oil while constantly whisking. Season with salt to taste.

6. Toss beets in half of the vinaigrette. Reserve remaining half for topping. Allow beets to cool to room temperature while marinating in dressing.
