Preparation
Chop the onions. Crush the garlic cloves. Dice the large carrots. Skin, seed and roughly chop the large vine tomatoes. Chop the fresh parsley. Chop the fresh mint.
Method
- 1 Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan and add the onion, garlic and carrot. Cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until golden.
- 2 Stir in the spices and cook for a few seconds, then pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Add the pearl barley, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- 3 Add the chicken breasts and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- 4 Use a knife and fork to shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and return to the pan, along with the tomatoes and kale. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the kale is tender.
- 5 Stir in the herbs and adjust the seasoning to taste.

I've cooked this now numerous times, it's a really light dish which is great to cook in the autumn or winter between the more stodgier meals. It's also introduced me to peal barley which is delicious. I highly recommend this, it's so easy to cook and with some warm bread rolls it goes down a treat! I couldn't find the correct spices so I've experimented with a couple of others, adding some paprika or a tiny bit of chilly adds another dimension to the dish.

This was a star! Went down v well and shall make it again. However I'd prefer chicken to be browned first. Otherwise looks pale and uninteresting. This is a sure fire way to use kale!

Absolutely delicious. So healthy but so tasty. Easy to make your own Moroccan mix too.

This was really delicious! Needed to add a lot more Moroccan seasoning than it says (maybe just to my taste) and a bit of a faff to peel and de-seed the tomatoes. But well worth it!!

This is delicious. I never bother to skin the tomatoes although I de-seed them. Really easy to make and great flavours.
