Method
Rinse the celery under cool water, then chop the white ends off and reserve them for cooking with the farro. Pick the celery leaves and set aside as a garnish. Take the remaining celery sticks and finely dice them, then place into a bowl for later.
Place the farro, vinegar, bay leaf, and celery ends into a saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and 750 ml (26 fl oz) of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover, then cook for about 20 minutes until the farro is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat but keep covered, allowing the farro to steam.
While the farro is cooling, peel away the outer leaves of the radicchio, removing any that are damaged or tough. Continue to peel back the tender leaves, then wash, spin, and gently dry on a clean tea towel. Coarsely chop the walnuts and set aside.
When the farro is cool enough to handle, remove the celery and bay leaf, then place the farro into a large bowl with the vinaigrette, celery, and two-thirds of the walnuts. Slice the radicchio into thin strips, add it to the farro, and toss to coat everything together.
Slice the pears into quarters. Remove the core, then slice each quarter in half from top to tail. You should have 16 slices in total. Dice each slice into 3-4 chunks. Gently fold the pears through the salad, then follow with shavings of cheese, reserving a little for the end. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Place the salad on a platter and distribute the remaining walnuts and cheese over the top. Finish with the celery leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
