Background

This festive salad looks fantastic on a buffet table at a party or goes well with grilled/barbecued fish and meat. It can be made with rice, pearl barley, millet, buckwheat, couscous, quinoa or freekeh. I normally make it with brown rice or pearl barley. It's delicious, healthy and easy to make.

Ingredients

200g pearl barley/millet/rice/buckwheat/giant couscous/etc
seeds of 1 pomegranate
4 spring onions, chopped
1 handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
1 handful mint, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp chopped pistachios
2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Cook the grains according the instructions on the pack.
Meanwhile chop the spring opinions and the herbs.
Drain the grains, let them cool then mix everything together.
Season to taste.

Tips

You can easily make pomegranate molasses by boiling 500 ml pomegranate juice until it reduces to a thick syrup. Transfer it to a jar and you can use it for salad dressings and marinades.
