Spicy Harissa Barley Bowls

with Zucchini, Golden Raisins, Spicy Herb Sauce & Lemon Yogurt

Barley, with its chewy texture and nutty flavor, is an ancient grain that remains a favorite. In these spicy veggie bowls, our chefs opted for quick-cooking pearled barley as a hearty base for harissa-roasted zucchini, bell pepper, and onion. A spicy herb sauce and lemon yogurt are drizzled over top, then everything’s sprinkled with feta, toasted almonds, and golden raisins.

Instructions

Cook Barley
1

• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. • In a small pot, combine barley, 2½ cups water (4 cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until barley is tender and water has absorbed, 25-30 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 6. TIP: If you end up with any excess water, simply pour it out. Alternatively, if water evaporates before barley is done, add a splash of water.

Prep
2

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Zest and quarter lemon. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; finely chop leaves.

Roast Veggies
3

• Toss zucchini, bell pepper, and onion on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, ½ tsp harissa powder (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the harissa powder—we sent more! Use less if you prefer less heat.) • Roast on top rack until veggies are tender and browned, 15-18 minutes. (For 4, divide between 2 baking sheets; roast on top and middle racks.)

Mix Yogurt & Sauce
4

• In a small bowl, combine yogurt and a big pinch of lemon zest. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine cilantro, 1½ TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of chili flakes to taste (use 3 TBSP olive oil and ½ tsp garlic powder for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.

Toast Almonds
5

• Heat a small, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff barley with a fork. Stir in stock concentrates, raisins, remaining garlic powder, a squeeze of lemon juice, and as much remaining lemon zest as you like. Season with salt and pepper. • Stir half the veggies into pot with barley. • Divide barley between bowls; top with remaining veggies, feta, and almonds. Drizzle with yogurt and herb sauce. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges and remaining chili flakes on the side.
