Pesto sauce for simple meal



Made pesto sauce during summer when there was a good crop of parsley. It is easy to use in making simple lunches, especially in cooler weather when there is the wish to eat hot carbohydrate food to keep warm.

Barley has a chewy texture and is my favorite grain.
1. Soak barley for an hour, bring to simmer in 2.5 times volume of water until soft, around 20 minutes, rest in the pot for another 15 minutes to fluff up.
2. Blanch cauliflower, cut into pieces, until soft.
3. Mix in pesto sauce, season with salt.
