Cajun barley

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Barley is one of the crops that farmers love, due to its short growing season and hardy nature. We should love this nutty, wholesome grain too, since it is so good for us. Here it has been given the flavours of the American Deep South, with a range of green vegetables and plenty of spice. Serve it with sausages or lamb kebabs.

Dal with cauliflower and carrots

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Dal is one of the staples of Indian cooking. Traditionally it has a sauce-like consistency, but here chunky vegetables have been added to turn it into a more substantial dish – ideal as part of a vegetarian meal. You can vary the vegetables as you wish, as long as they are cut up quite small so that they cook quickly.

Fragrant basmati rice

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Basmati cooks to perfect, separate, fluffy grains and is considered by many to be the finest rice. Here it is subtly scented and coloured with saffron, cinnamon and ginger. The sweet-sharp flavour of pomegranate adds a unique quality to this dish, and a few seeds scattered over the top just before serving make an attractive finish.

Green coriander rice

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Making a herb and vegetable paste is a quick and simple way of producing vibrantly coloured, flavoursome rice. Toasting the rice in just a little oil and butter, then cooking with the paste before adding stock and simmering, develops and enriches the flavour of the dish. This makes a great accompaniment to grilled or roast chicken.

Japanese red rice

Red aduki beans give this Japanese rice dish an appealing rosy tint, yet the flavour is mild and creamy. It's an interesting dish to try, particularly if you are experimenting with an Oriental menu.
