2 large leeks, tough outer layers removed, sliced 1/4" thick

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

1 tbsp. plus 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 head radicchio, thinly sliced

1 red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

1 (15.5-oz.) can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed

Juice of 1 lemon

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 31/2 c. water and a large pinch of salt to a boil. Add farro and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed, until farro is tender, about 40 minutes.

Roast vegetables until carrots are softened and leeks are dark golden, about 30 minutes. 4. In a large bowl, toss farro, roasted vegetables, radicchio, bell pepper, beans, and tomatoes.

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, honey, and remaining 1/4 c. oil; season with salt and black pepper. Pour dressing over farro mixture and toss to coat. Add arugula and goat cheese and toss again to combine.
