  1. BEGIN THE BARLEY

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the pearled barley in a pot with 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until al dente, 25-30 minutes (stirring occasionally). Drain and cover.

  2. UN-BEET-ABLE

    Spread the Beetroot on a roasting tray. Lightly coat with cooking spray or oil (optional) and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and lightly golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. GO, GO GREEN BEANS

    Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium-high heat. When hot, add the green beans and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil (optional). Fry until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  4. NOMU-SPICED PORK

    Return the pan to medium heat. Pat the pork dry with paper towel and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil (optional), and the NOMU rub. When hot, sear the pork until browned, 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip, cover with the lid, lower the heat, and fry until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. UNIQUE SALAD

    In a small bowl, loosen the mustard yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzing conistency. Season and set aside. Once the barley is done, toss through the Beetroot, green beans, salad leaves, and ½ the yoghurt. Season and set aside.

  6. TIME TO DINE

    Make a bed of the loaded barley and top with the pork. Drizzle over the remaining yoghurt and get ready to eat!
