Even if you are not a fan of kale, I challenge you to try this! Kale ends up keeping its shape, so you have something to chew on. And it goes so well with starchy potatoes and juicy and plump barley.
For this recipe I used pearl barley because I couldn’t find the whole stuff. But if you can, use whole barley because it looks prettier and it adds more texture because each piece is bigger.
This is one of those meals I like to make and have for two to three days. Perfect for when I don´t have time too cook every day!
