Using a mandoline to slice the carrots turns them into ribbons, and cooking them briefly keeps them from being too crunchy. If you don't have a mandolin, use a vegetable peeler.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 to 8 Servings

Ingredients

1 3-3 1/2-pound boneless pork loin
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup whole grain mustard
1/4 cup mustard powder
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
2 cups farro
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon caraway seeds, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 pounds baby carrots, any color, very thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced into rings
1 cup (packed) fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place pork on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet; season all over with salt and pepper. Whisk mustard, mustard powder, and 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl to blend. Rub over pork and let sit at room temperature 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 425°. Roast pork until beginning to brown, 25-30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and roast until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°, 25-35 minutes longer, depending on thickness of roast.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, cook farro in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 30-35 minutes; drain.

    Step 4

    Whisk vinegar, caraway seeds, honey, and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl; set vinaigrette aside.

    Step 5

    Heat 2 tablespoons vinaigrette in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add farro and carrots and cook, tossing often, until carrots soften and farro is warmed through, about 3 minutes.

    Step 6

    Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, parsley, and half of remaining vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

    Step 7

    Slice pork. Serve with farro salad. Pass remaining vinaigrette alongside.

    Step 8

    DO AHEAD: Farro can be cooked 2 days ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill. Reheat before using.
