  1. ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the potato pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. BEGIN THE BARLEY

    Place the rinsed pearled barley in a pot with 400ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until al dente, 30-35 minutes (stirring occasionally). Drain.

  3. CRISPY LENTILS

    Spread the drained lentils on a separate roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes.

  4. FRY THE ONIONS

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).

  5. LOADED SALAD

    In a salad bowl, combine the balsamic reduction with 15ml of olive oil and seasoning. Toss through the pearled barley, the crispy lentils, the roasted potato, the cucumber half-moons, the diced tomato, the sliced celery, and the golden onion.

  6. CREAMY DRIZZLE

    In a small bowl, loosen the cashew nut yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  7. WHAT A BEAUT!

    Bowl up the pearled barley salad. Drizzle over the loosened cashew nut yoghurt. Garnish with the chopped mint. Top with the pomegranate gems. Tuck in, Chef!
