Description

This barley couscous with vegetables and lamb is a comforting and tasty dish, perfect for autumn or winter evenings. Pearl barley, with its slightly soft texture, is a great substitute for traditional wheat semolina. The lamb, simmered with fragrant spices such as turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and ras el-hanout, brings incomparable warmth and depth of flavor. Zucchini and carrots add a touch of freshness and sweetness. This dish is ideal for a convivial family meal and can be prepared in advance. Feel free to adjust the spices according to your personal preferences. A real treat for the taste buds! Barley soaking time: 8 hours.
