Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine farro and a pinch of salt in small saucepan, cover with 1 inch cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until farro is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Drain and return grains to saucepan, off heat.
Combine chickpeas, 1 tbsp olive oil, curry powder, and a pinch of salt on baking sheet and toss. Roast until browned and crispy in places, 12 to 15 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp olive oil). TIP: For 4-serving meal, roast chickpeas an additional 3 minutes.
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add leeks and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until leeks are softened and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
Combine pistachios and a pinch of salt and pepper on plate. Form cashew cheese into 4 balls and roll in pistachio mixture to coat. (4-serving meal: form 8 balls).
Combine lemon juice, apple, arugula, 1 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in medium bowl. Toss arugula apple salad. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp olive oil).
