Ingredients

  • 200g chickpeas
  • 120g pearl barley
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g asparagus
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the green beans and asparagus, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Pat the chickpeas dry and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until crisp, tossing halfway.

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the green beans and asparagus for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: pearl barley first, then the veg and chickpea, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.
