Dilled Gouda And Barley Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Roast eggplant and zucchini:
• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Toss eggplant and zucchini with 5 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl, then spread in 2 oiled large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans. Roast vegetables in oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through baking, until vegetables are golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes total. Combine vegetables in 1 pan and cool, reserving other pan for cooling barley.
• Cook barley:
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook scallion, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add barley and cook, stirring until well coated with oil, 2 minutes more. Add broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until all of liquid is absorbed and barley is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer to reserved shallow baking pan and spread to quickly cool, uncovered, to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Make dressing and assemble salad:
• Whisk together lemon juice, garlic, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add barley, roasted vegetables, and remaining ingredients to bowl with dressing and toss until combined well. Serve with cheese slices.

Steps:

• Cook barley in water as directed on package.
• In small bowl, place tomatoes; add enough hot water to cover. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain and chop.
• In medium bowl, mix barley, tomatoes and remaining ingredients except lettuce. Serve on lettuce-lined plates.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the barley. Cover and cook for 25 mins, or until tender. Meanwhile, pour boiling water over the bulgur wheat to just cover, and set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and add the onions. Cook for 20-25 mins, stirring regularly, until golden and caramelised. Stir in the garlic and cloves for 30 secs.
• Drain the barley and bulgur well and tip into a bowl. Add the remaining oil, the onions, and plenty of seasoning. Mix well and chill until you're ready to serve (up to 24 hrs ahead is fine, or at least 1 hr). Remove from the fridge 30 mins before you want to serve.
• Toss through the remaining ingredients and serve on a large platter or in a bowl.

Steps:

• Bring barley and 3 cups water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until barley is tender, about 40 minutes. Drain if necessary.
• Meanwhile, place shallot in a large bowl, and whisk in mustard, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Stir in barley and herbs. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Cook mushrooms, cap sides down, for 5 minutes. Let cool; slice.
• Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup oil, the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss together mushrooms, barley, carrot, celery, scallion, and dill. Drizzle vinaigrette over top; toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the sliced carrots in a large roasting tin with the shallots, garlic and fennel seeds. Drizzle over the oil, toss everything together and season. Roast for 35-40 mins until everything has caramelised and the carrots are tender.
• Meanwhile, boil the pearl barley in a large pan of salted water until al dente, about 30 mins. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together with some seasoning. Remove the carrots from the oven.
• Strain the pearl barley and toss through the dressing, carrots, dill, parsley and half the cheese. Finish with a few of the fennel tops and the remaining cheese. Serve warm or cold with a slice or two of warm buttered soda bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Cook green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using a sieve or a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water.
• Return water to a boil, add barley, and simmer until tender (refer to packaging for timing); drain. Let cool on a baking sheet.
• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook sunflower seeds, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes; let cool.
• Toss green beans, barley, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, feta, dill, lemon juice, and vinaigrette in a large bowl.

Steps:

• Bring about 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the barley and salt to taste. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, until the barley is tender. Drain and return the barley to the pot. Place a towel over the top of the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 15 minutes. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and place the cooked barley on top to cool. When cool, transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut the parsley leaves into fine shreds by gathering together a bunch of leaves, and cutting across the bunch with a chef's knife. Place in the bowl with the barley. Add the dill, celery, radishes and sumac.
• Place the toasted skinned hazelnuts in a plastic bag or a pastry bag and place on your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll over the nuts to crush them into halves. Don't crush them completely (but don't worry if your pieces are smaller than neat halves). Add to the bowl.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, the olive oil and the hazelnut or walnut oil. Toss with the salad and serve.

Steps:

• Combine salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Whisk together dressing ingredients in small bowl. Pour on salad and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours (stated cooking time) to blend flavors.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to a rapid simmer in a saucepan and stir in the barley. Cover and simmer gently until the water has been absorbed, about 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, uncovered, until room temperature.
• Meanwhile, if using fresh green beans, trim them and cut in half. Steam or microwave the fresh or frozen green beans until done to your liking. In either case, make sure the green beans are still bright and green, and rinse under cool water until they are cool.
• Combine the cooled barley and green beans with the remaining ingredients in a serving bowl and toss well. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
