  1. BARLEY BEAUT

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pearl barley in a pot with 350ml of salted water and bring to a 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 to taste.

  2. ROAST THOSE GRAPES

    Spread the whole grapes in a single layer on a roasting tray. Coat in the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of oil, a sweetener of choice and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes until soft and caramelised.

  3. NUTS & TANGY RICOTTA

    Place the hazelnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 5-6 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and roughly chop. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta with some lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, the chopped rosemary and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined.

  4. ZESTY BEANS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a splash of water and a squeeze of lemon juice. When starting to bubble, simmer the sliced green beans for 3-4 minutes until cooked al dente. Toss with a drizzle of oil, season and remove from the pan on completion.

  5. FRY & TOSS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the lamb cubes and the roast rub, and fry for 5-6 minutes or until crispy, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and rest for at least 3 minutes. In a salad bowl, add the mustard, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener of choice, some seasoning, the roasted grapes, and the rinsed green leaves. Toss until fully combined.

  6. DINNER IS SERVED

    Plate up a generous heap of the warm barley and top with the crispy lamb, the roasted grape salad and the lemony green beans. Sprinkle over the hazelnuts and the fresh halved grapes. Dollop over the rosemary laced ricotta. Simply stunning, Chef!
