Wimmera Grain Salad

Back to Home

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

This started out as a George Colambaris recipe (thanks, George!) but has morphed over time into this freezer-friendly version. 

The key is getting all the grains and pulses cooked just right so that they're tender but not over-cooked. We then mix them with diced preserved lemon, currants and serve with the seperate sachet of toasted seeds, nuts and dressing.

INGREDIENTS

Pearl barley, Puy lentils, pepitas, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, preserved lemon, currants, salt, cumin, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil. 

ALLERGENS

CONTAINS:
Tree Nuts, Gluten.
MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF:
Peanuts, Dairy, Shellfish, Fish, Sesame, Soy, Egg, Lupin.
PLEASE NOTE:
While we make every effort to ensure dishes are free of cross-contamination, our kitchen is not allergen free.

GOES WITH

To finish the salad, add finely sliced spring onions, plucked herbs (coriander, parsley or mint) and a handful of baby leaves like spinach or rocket.  Taste for seasoning and acidity - you may wish to add a sprinkle of salt and/or a squeeze of lemon. Dress the salad with the sachet of dressing provided. Toss with the seeds and nuts and serve, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds if you'd like.  

This would make a great accompaniment to barbecued lamb or vegetables like eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms or a fine dinner on its own, maybe topped with fingers of grilled haloumi.

PREP, COOK AND SERVE

 

Frozen product. Defrost in refrigerator. Once defrosted, consume within 48 hours. 

Allow the salad to defrost and come to room temperature. To finish the salad, add finely sliced spring onions, plucked herbs (coriander, parsley or mint) and a handful of baby leaves like spinach or rocket. Dress the salad with the sachet of dressing provided, taste for seasoning and acidity - you may wish to add a sprinkle of salt and/or a squeeze of lemon. Toss with the seeds and nuts and serve, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds if you'd like.  

For a warm side dish, peel back the plastic film, remove sachet of nuts and seeds and dressing, replace film loosely and microwave for 2 minutes, stir and heat for another 2 minutes before serving, sprinkled with the seeds and nuts.
