Sunchoke Salad
1 pound roasted Sunchokes®
½ pound roasted crimini mushrooms, quartered
2 cups cooked farro
6 cups vegetable stock
2 shallots, sliced into rings
8 ounces hibiscus flower
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 bundle curly kale, wilted
Sherry Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
½ tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
In a small stock pot, combine apple cider vinegar and hibiscus flower. Bring mixture to a boil, and strain solids through a fine mesh strainer.
In a small bowl, combine shallot rings and hibiscus pickling juice. Leave shallots in pickling juice for 30 minutes, then strain.
To make sherry vinaigrette, add all ingredients, omitting the oil, into a large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil time until mixture emulsifies.
Add farro to the sherry vinaigrette and mix until well incorporated. Add mushrooms, walnuts, kale, and pickled shallots to the bowl. Toss to coat the salad completely.
Top salad with Sunchokes®, a few rings of pickled shallots, and kale for garnish. Best served room temperature.
