    1 Place pearl barley in a medium saucepan with stock and set over medium heat. Cook, covered, for 25 minutes, or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

    2 Meanwhile place a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sunflower and pumpkin seeds and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

    3 Add half the olive oil to the pan and return to medium heat. Add shredded fennel and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning once, until tender. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining oil to pan and cook shallots and mushrooms until tender.

    4 Add corn and heat through; stir in barley and fennel. Place salad on serving plates, sprinkle with chopped parsley and toasted seeds, and serve with spoonfuls of yoghurt.

    Serving suggestion
