These baked pearl barley balls are healthy, delicious, nutty and super easy to make! Plus, you can make them ahead and freeze for later. They are awesome for an appetizer, or as a side, or main dish---an easy dish that never fails to satisfy. This recipe will leave you with some dressing leftover, but it keeps well in the fridge to use for other salads.

Pearl Barley BallsSpiced Yoghurt Dressing
  • 125 g Pearl barley
  • 1 Large egg
  • 1 Schallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Turmeric poweder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh flat parsley or coriander, chopped
  • 50 g Raisins
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 5 tbsp Olive oil to fry
  • Leafy greens, to serve
  • Pomegranate seeds, to serve
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/3 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 250 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Raisins
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Cook the pearl barley according to the package instructions. Rinse under cold water to remove the starch and leave to drain until cool enough to handle.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Mix together the rest of the ingredients, excpet the olive oil, with cooled pearl barley. Shape the mixture into golf-ball sized balls or patties. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large frying pan and add the olive oil, once hot add the balls and fry about 4 minutes until lightly golden brown. Finish them in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. While the pearly barley balls bake, prepare the dressing. Place cumin, coriander and turmeric in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 minute or until fragrant. Combine spice mixture, Greek yoghurt, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring to combine.
  5. Arrange the pearl barley balls on a bed of salad, sprinkle some pomegranate seeds over. Serve with the prepared spiced yoghurt dressing.

    I'd eat a ton of them, although I'd probably scream if I bit into a raisin LOL I also prefer to bake patties and falafels as I hate the stench of burning oil. We need to buy us an airfryer!
