Parsley & barley salad from Ottolenghi
  1. Place the pearl barley in a small saucepan, cover with plenty of water, and boil for 50 to 55 minutes, until tender but with a bite.

  2. Pour into a fine sieve, shake to remove all the water, and transfer to a large bowl.

  3. Break the feta into rough pieces, about ¾ inch / 2 cm in size, and mix in a small bowl with 1 ½ tablespoons of the olive oil, the zaatar, the coriander seeds, and the cumin.

  4. Gently mix together and leave to marinate while you prepare the rest of the salad.

  5. Chop the parsley finely and place in a bowl with the green onions, garlic, cashew nuts, pepper, allspice, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil.

  6. Add the cooked barley, mix together well and season to taste.

  7. To serve, divide the salad among four plates and top with the marinated feta.
