    1 Put barley in a sieve and rinse under cold water. Place in a pan with stock, water and rosemary. Cover and bring to the boil, then simmer over a low heat for 1 hour, or until just tender. Remove rosemary sprigs.

    2 Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a frying pan. Add spring onions and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, until golden. Add wine and simmer for 1 minute, until slightly reduced.

    3 Add cooked barley and broad beans. Season to taste. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until hot. Stir through rocket and serve.

    HFG tip

    Cook barley the day before if you like, so the salad is ready to finish off just before it's time to eat.
