Ingredients

  • 225 grams chorizo ring
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 350 grams pearl barley
  • 400 grams chopped tomatoes tinned
  • 1 litre chicken stock
  • 250 grams frozen peas
  • 20 grams fresh parsley chopped
  • 10 grams feta

Instructions

  • Slice the chorizo and put in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook until golden and crisp.
  • Chop the onion and garlic and add to the pan. Sizzle for 30 seconds, then add the pearl barley. Stir to coat it in the chorizo oil, then tip in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer for 25 minutes, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • Throw in the peas, heat for another 2-3 minutes until the peas have cooked through, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley and the chorizo. To serve, top each bowl with a little crumbled feta.

Notes

  • To use risotto rice instead of pearl barley, switch for 350g risotto rice. Add when I added the pearl barley, and stir regularly for the cooking time.
