Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. When boiling, stir in and dissolve the stock powder. Stir in the pearl barley. Bring back to the boil then reduce the heat slightly and cook for 25-30 mins, until tender. Once cooked, drain in a sieve and return to the pan. Cover with a lid to keep warm until everything else is ready.

2

In the meantime, drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. Trim the aubergine then half lengthways. Chop each half into four long strips then chop them in half width ways. Half the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the coriander stalks and all. Zest and quarter the lemon.

3

Lightly oil 2 baking trays. Pop the diced sweet potato and chick peas onto 1 and drizzle on a splash of oil. Sprinkle over the cumin, harissa (use less if you're not a fan of heat) and a pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Pop the aubergine and tomatoes onto the other baking tray then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over some oil. 

4

Pop both trays in the oven, the chickpeas on the middle shelf and the veggies on top. Cook for 20-25 mins until the chickpeas are crunchy and the veggies are tender and coloured. Turn halfway through. 

5

When everything is ready, gently mix all the roasted veggies and chickpeas through the pearl barley. Mix in the lemon zest, coriander and a squeeze of lemon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Pop the rocket into a small bowl and squeeze over a little lemon juice, toss to combine. Share the jumble between your plates and crumble over the feta. Serve the rocket alongside and enjoy!
