Pearl barley

We make this at least twice a month — creamy curry chicken that basically cooks itself. The kids actually eat it.

Barley soaks up flavour like crazy — this risotto is creamy and hearty, and pairs perfectly with a simple pan-fried haddock fillet.

Barley instead of rice makes this risotto heartier and more nutritious — and it works beautifully. Great on its own or alongside grilled meat.

Spiced salmon with a cool, tangy cucumber dressing — way better than plain baked fish. Ready in under 40 minutes.

Proper Norwegian comfort food — warm barley porridge topped with melted brown cheese and tart lingonberries. Worth every minute of stirring.

Warm, creamy barley porridge topped with fresh berries, crunchy almonds, and a drizzle of honey. Just as good for breakfast as it is for a simple dinner.
