  1. BEAUTIFUL BARLEY

    Place a pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cumin and temper for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the barley and 350ml of salted water. Bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally as the water is absorbed and adding more only if required. On completion, the grain should be al dente. Drain if necessary and season.

  2. SOAK & MARINATE

    Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and allow to soak for 10 minutes – this prevents them from burning when over the heat. In a separate shallow dish, place ½ the harissa and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Mix until fully combined. Add the tuna chunks and toss until coated. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

  3. TOASTED ALMONDS

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion.

  4. GET YOUR GRILL ON

    Thread the marinated tuna chunks onto the skewers. Place a pan or a griddle pan on a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the tuna skewers and fry for 30-60 seconds per side until starting to char.

  5. FINAL SALAD TOUCHES & YOGHURT

    In a salad bowl, toss the diced tomatoes, the sliced spring onions, the chopped mint, the chopped parsley and the cooked barley. Season with salt, pepper and some lemon zest. In a separate bowl, combine the yoghurt and the remaining harissa. Add water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  6. FOOD FOR THE SOUL

    Serve the healthy barley salad. Top with the tuna skewers and drizzle over the harissa yoghurt. Garnish with the flaked almonds and any remaining lemon wedges on the side. Nutritiously done, Chef!
