Ingredients:

Serving

300 g pearl barley
2 tsp canola oil
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp green curry paste , reduce to 1 tbsp if you prefer less heat
1 eggplant , cut into 1/4 then thickly sliced
375 ml light coconut milk
250 ml reduced-sodium vegetable stock
6 kaffir lime leaves
1 kumara, peeled and cut into cubes (orange sweet potato)
1 tsp soft brown sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp grated lime zest

Directions:

Rinse & drain the barley. Fill a large saucepan with 5 cups water and add barley. Bring to the boil then reduce heat. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
While barley is cooking, heat oil in large wok (or frying pan) then add curry paste and onion. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add eggplant and cook for a further 4 minutes, or until softened.
Pour in stock and coconut milk. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lime leaves and kumara and cook for 10 minutes, or until the kumara is very tender.
Finally, mix in the sugar, lime juice and lime zest. Combine well. Season with salt & pepper, to taste, then serve over barley.
