  1. A BOUNTY OF BARLEY

    Rinse the barley and place in a pot with the stock and 350ml of water. Give it a stir, pop on a lid, and place over a medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally as the water is absorbed and only add more if it starts to dry out. On completion, it should be cooked al dente.

  2. PARBOIL THE CARROTS

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot over a high heat, fill with boiling water, and add in the star anise. Once bubbling rapidly, pop in the halved carrots and cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly softened but still al dente.

  3. TOM YUM DRESSING

    In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and the tom yum paste until well combined. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

  4. CHARGRILL THE VEGGIES

    When the carrots are cooked, drain and return to the pot, discarding the star anise. Add in the sliced baby marrow and toss through a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. When the barley has 10 minutes remaining, place a pan (use a grill pan if you have one!) over a high heat. When hot, fry the Carrot and marrow cut-side down for 4-5 minutes until gorgeously charred but still crunchy. Remove from the heat on completion.

  5. FRESH & FLAVOURFUL

    When the barley is cooked, drain if necessary and place in a bowl with the chopped pickled peppers and three-quarters of the chopped basil. Add a drizzle of oil, toss to combine, and set aside for serving. Trim the base off the head of lettuce and peel off the leaves. Rinse well, dry, and place in a bowl. Toss through a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of Lime, and some seasoning.

  6. TOM YUM, YUM!

    Bowl the delicious barley salad and top with the charred veggies. Scatter over the lettuce leaves, the crispy onions, and the remaining basil. Generously drizzle over the tom yum dressing and serve with a Lime wedge on the side. Time to devour!
