Ingredients

  • 180g King Prawns
  • 150g pearl barley
  • 80g kale
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the kale and cherry tomatoes, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the pearl barley for 25-30 minutes until plump and chewy, then drain.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry the king prawns over high heat for 2-3 minutes until pink and curled.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the kale and cherry tomatoes for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: pearl barley first, then the veg and king prawns, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
