I will try to post a simple recipe daily. Those who are interested in health food - should find this week very refreshing - as I will try a no wheat recipe every day. Those of you on a protein diet but who are completely bored with it... this should make a refreshing change. Those of you who will try this recipe.. I would appreciate your feedback by grading a) simplicity b) flavour c) nourishment:
Barley Salad
Ingredients: 1 packet barley (thoroughly washed)
Olive Oil
Parsley
Mushrooms (500 grs)
Dried Porcini mushrooms (100 grs)
Optional but adds a kick to flavour - truffle oil
Soak the porcini mushrooms in white wine for a few hours and reserve stock.
Boil barley in just enough water to cover barley - adding a chicken cube for flavour. Do not over cook but allow a little bit like the pasta al dente. Rinse and reserve.
Chop up mushrooms roughly (secret... DO NOT WASH the mushrooms as they absorb too much water - of which they are already very abundant) - just peel them. Add chopped parsley, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with Olive Oil - and heat for about 1 minute over high heat, and then reduce heat. Cover and cook for about a further 3-5 minutes but BEFORE too much juice runs out - so let's not get our mushrooms shrivelled.
Remove from pan and reserve stock. Do the same thing with the Porcini mushrooms- minus the juice they are in - add garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Sautee and then add the reserved wine stock. Check that they are cooked through.
Combine both sets of mushrooms with their juices to the boiled Barley. Add some more parsley, and olive Oil and if available the truffle oil................
Voila - ready to serve..
Some nutritional information:\
Olive Oil in its natural form is a very healthy suppliment to our diet. However once it is heated - it becomes saturated fat and therefore not only looses all its benefits but is actually harmful. Coconut oil on the other hand has the same advantages as Olive Oil - but is the only Oil that does not change its constitution when heated. If you are frying or stir frying... Coconut Oil is by far the healthiest alternative to do it with.... I have had to come to Bali to learn this
Enjoy your Day... Mariella
