Barley salad with tuna and grilled vegetables

Barley salad with tuna and grilled vegetables

Barley is a wonderfully versatile cereal grain with a rich nutty flavour and an appealing chewy, pasta-like consistency. Additionally, barley's claim to nutritional fame is based on it being a very good source of molybdenum, manganese, dietary fibre (roughage), and selenium, as well as of copper, vitamin B1, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium, and niacin. In this recipe, garden meets sea in a wonderful salad combining grain, fish and vegetables, an ideal summer dish for any occasion.

Here comes a dish containing a somewhat alternative ingredient, couscous. Some might think it is a  cereal, but it actually is a traditional Berber product made from semolina, granules of durum wheat. This very versatile ingredient, a staple food in North Africa, can be cooked and served with vegetables or stews, but it also can be used to prepare delightful 'salads' or desserts.

Cold winter days seem to be the perfect time to enjoy certain dishes: soups, creamy risottos.. full-flavoured, warming and cosy, they are the perfect - healthy - comfort food. The recipe we are presenting here is no exception! The chicory, provolone cheese, sausage and wine provide for an intense, mouth-watering taste, as well as for a divine aroma. Beside the gourmet experience, it's important to note that barley, one of the most ancient grain varieties, is known to have excellent anti-inflammatory, soothing and regulatory properties: a real cure-all, as Hippocrates already knew!

This recipe can be modified according to your own personal tastes, you can replace the vegetables you're not so fond of with some of your favourites or even use beans, chickpeas or lentils instead of (or on top of) the sausage.
