Sweet potato-line, dum, dum dum… that's not the Red Sox song, is it? Well, it's in your head now. And while breaking the curse of bambino was sweet for the Boston fans (we're from Chicago; we know a few things about breaking baseball curses), this dish is even sweeter. Syrup combined with the slight spice of harissa coats the sweet potatoes, hitting the flavors out of the park. Almonds are stirred in with farro for a double-play, and goat cheese comes in as the closer in the 9th, a Mariano Rivera of flavor. Wait, he was a Yankee, right? Well, basketball is more our sport.
