Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

850ml/1 ½ pts low-salt chicken or veg stock
100g/4oz pearl barley
750g/1lb 10oz new potatoes, sliced
½ spring cabbage, shredded
140g/5oz frozen broad or soya beans
100g/4oz frozen peas
250g/9oz broccoli florets
200g tub crème fraiche
Small bunch of dill, snipped
Zest 1 lemon, plus squeeze of juice
600g/1lb 5oz cooked, peeled prawns

Steps:

  • 1. Bring stock to a simmer in a large frying pan or shallow casserole covered with a lid. Add the pearl barley, cover and cook for 10 mins. Then add the potatoes and cook covered for 12 - 15 mins until tender. 2. Remove the lid, increase the heat and bubble the stock for a few mins to reduce. Stir in the greens, crème fraiche, dill, zest and juice. If you're freezing, cool at this stage. If eating straight away, simmer for 3-4 mins until veg is just tender. 3. Just before serving, stir in the prawns to heat through and season to taste. If freezing, cool completely then scatter the prawns on top and freeze. Defrost fully in the fridge overnight then gently bring back to a simmer, uncovered, until veg is tender and prawns hot through.
