  1. BOUNCY BARELY

    Place the pearl barley in a pot with 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. VEGGIE ROAST

    Place the butternut chunks on one side of a roasting tray and the beetroot chunks on the other half with ¾ of the pomegranate molasses. Coat the veg in oil and seasoning. Spread out evenly and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Place the drained butter beans in a bowl. Coat in oil, the One For All Rub, and some seasoning. Set aside.

  3. HALFWAY!

    When the veg reaches the halfway mark, remove from the oven and give it a shift. Scatter over the dressed beans, spread out in a single layer, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. On completion, the beans should be crispy and the veg should be cooked through and caramelised.

  4. TOAST THE PECANS

    Place the pecans in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  5. MINTY YOGHURT DRESSING

    Place the coconut yoghurt in a bowl. Mix in 2 tsp of olive oil, seasoning, and the remaining pomegranate molasses to taste. Toss the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning.

  6. GRAB A BOWL!

    Make a base of steamy pearled barley and cover in the roast veggies and sweet beets. Top with the dressed leaves and drizzle over the dairy-free dressing. Garnish with the toasted pecans, mint, and chopped, dried apricots. Have a seat, Chef!
