With this recipe you get a delicious alternative accessory – instead of, for example, potatoes or pasta.
It requires a little preparation, as the pearl barley must be cooked first – but once it is done, it only takes 10 minutes to finish the dish. It is also obvious to use a leftover cooked rice or boiled bulgur (about 400 grams) if you have it left in the fridge.
At the bottom of the post you can see a video where our kitchen manager, Hanne, guides you on how to make the dish.

200 g pearl barley
250 g mushrooms, sliced
​​150 g onions, diced
2 tbsp. oil
200 g fresh spinach
50 g parmesan cheese, in flakes
1 dl vegetable
broth Juice and zest from a lemon
Salt and pepper

Here’s how you do it:

• Cook the pearl barley according to the instructions on the package. Add if necessary. a little vegetable broth for the boiling water
