Cooking Steps

Boil the pearl barley
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Boil plenty of water in a lidded pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see Tip).
  • Boil the pearl barley with the lid on for 20 minutes. Pearl barley is harder than other grains, so it will still have a bit of bite after cooking.
  • Drain the pearl barley in a strainer when finished and rinse it under cold water.

Tip: if you're keeping an eye on your salt intake, leave the stock cube out.

Chop the veggies
2
  • Cut the head of the cauliflower into florets and dice the stem.
  • Cut the eggplant into 1cm thick rounds.
  • Cut the onion into wedges.
Roast the veggies
3
  • Spread the cauliflower, eggplant and onion over a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, then scatter over the Middle Eastern-style spices and half of the Peruvian spice mix and toss well to coat.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then roast the vegetables for 15 - 20 minutes.
Chop the herbs
4
  • Finely chop the parsley.
  • Rinse the lentils in a sieve and let the excess water drain off.

Did you know... lentils are not just a good source of fibre, but they also contain protein, iron and vitamin B1, which makes them an excellent alternative to meat!

Make the tahini dressing
5
  • Grate the garlic.
  • In a small bowl, mix the tahini, yogurt and garlic with the white balsamic vinegar and sambal. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
6
  • In a salad bowl, mix the pearl barley with the lentils, cauliflower, eggplant, onion and the rest of the Peruvian spice mix.
  • Serve the pearly barley salad on plates.
  • Drizzle over the tahini-yogurt dressing and scatter over the finely chopped parsley.
