Ingredients

  • 100g pearl barley
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 300 g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 50g walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 90g wild rocket

Dressing

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Put the pearl barley and 520ml water in a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45-50 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed and the barley is tender.

  2. Meanwhile, cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. On a baking tray, toss with the oil and paprika; season. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and softened, adding the walnuts to the tray for the final 5 minutes.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined. Add the cooked pearl barley, rocket, sweet potato and walnuts; toss to mix. Serve straight away
