Pot Barley is healthy for you and a great variation to a fried rice. It’s tossed with sausage, bacon, chicken, potato, peppers and spinach and finished off with some soya sauce for that umami boost.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Pot Barley, soaked overnight and drained very well
1 potato diced in very small cubes
1 red onion finely chopped
3 – 4 sausages cut in small cubes
3 –4 rashers of bacon(I used Turkey) cut fine
1 green pepper cut into small dice
1 cup left over cooked chicken cut into small dice
2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
Salt
3 – 4 tbsps light soya sauce
Olive oil
Process
In a large non stick sauté pan, heat some Olive oil and cook the potatoes first till golden brown
Add the onion and sauté till golden brown and follow with the sausage and bacon
Add the cooked chicken and green pepper
Cook for without stirring about 3 – 4 minutes at a time so the ingredients get a nice dark colour at the bottom
Depending on the size of your sauté pan, either take everything out to sauté the barley or make a well in the centre and let the barley caramelize a little bit
Mix together well and add the spinach which will wilt and cook in a few minutes
Add the soya, toss and serve!
I tried this, it was like kids food, dont want to make it again…also 2.5 cups of barley is way too much…its very heavy so this batch will sit in the freezer too long
I think 1 cup would also be too much for a young couple who typically eat the same meal twice. Im just disappointed by the sheer volume of this batch that i made using exact amounts from the recipe.
Never seen something so healthy love it going to try god bless
yummy
I made this for dinner tonight and I really like it. I think I’m gonna cook this dish more often from now on. Thank you for sharing this recipe :))
I have got a jar of pearl barley sitting on my pantry shelf and I have no idea what to do with it till I saw your video. Gonna give this a try. I’m slowly substituting jasmine rice with brown rice and barley since jasmine rice makes me so bloated
looks so good
Madam you are a very good teacher. You have put it in a such a simple form that's so easy to understand.
Waay to much meat!
Love your presenting style . It’s clear and concise. Thanks for posting this recipe.
I love Iranian women's.they know the food.
Thank you so much.
Good video thanks
Rashers of Turkey Bacon? what in the name of all that is holy is this?
This is very informative! This is going to be a side dish for spiral ham, just no meat added.
Looks delish! Going to make it tonight without the bacon or sausages just the chicken! Great recipe, clear instructions. Thanks for sharing.
We feed dogs barley. I could not serve it to my guests since barley is considered pesants food.
Looks and sounds good except for the sausages…I don't like sausages
Happy to see a recipe for barley which is not for soup! Will definitely try a vege version of this – thank you!
Hello this looks really good! How many portion does this come out?
I like your way of presenting, Karen. It's clear, concise and interesting. Congratulations!
