Introduction

Any vegetables and pulses can be used, as well as leftover meat, or it could be just vegetables and pulses. I usually make this in the morning and transfer it to my slow cooker for our evening meal.

    20 grams Barley, pearled, raw
    110 gram(s) Tesco Bacon, Smoked, Backed Bacon, per 2 grilled rashers (47g)

    200 gram(s) Asda Passata (UK) (by THEREAFAMILY)
    0.5 serving Dried Chilli Flakes - 0.5 Teaspoon (by CLARE19751)
    1 tsp Garlic powder
    1 tsp Onion powder
    120 gram(s) Iceland Frozen Country Vegetable Mix (by JWYL2240)
    0.5 tsp Cumin - ground (1 tsp) (by INFORM555)
    6 gram(s) Oxo Chicken Stock Cubes - 1 cube = 6g (by YUBYUB31)
    1 serving Oxo vegetable (cube) (by FGTR13)
    5 mL Lemon Juice

Directions

Cook the barley for about 40 minutes until it’s soft. Add butter and olive oil to a large pan and cook sliced/ chopped onion until soft. Add sliced bacon, together with a teaspoon of lemon juice, and cook until just beginning to brown. Transfer to your slow cooker. Rinse the beans and sweet corn and add them to the pan, together with the barley, mixing them well together.Add the mixed vegetables to the pan with the Passata, then stir in the flavourings, crumbling the two Oxo cubes over and stirring well together. Transfer this to the slow cooker, remembering to rinse your cooking pan with a little water and stirring that into the mixture in the slow cooker ( you don’t want to waste any of the lovely flavour!) It improves with age and can be even more delicious if you serve it with some garlic flavoured yoghurt . Goes well with rice, mashed potatoes, bulgar wheat, couscous etc.
