Bulsu- og byggsalat

Pearl barley salad with vegetarian sausages

I have already told you about the Icelandic meat substitute products based on barley grown in the country, which I came across by chance during my last stay in Iceland. Now the recipe for the pearl barley and barley sausage salad!


Ingredients

200 g barley pearls
1 cucumber
200 g tomatoes
1/2 onion
2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 Tbsp parsley

1 pack of Bulsur

100 ml rapeseed oil
1 Tbsp mustard
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 pinch of pepper


Preparation

Prepare the barley pearls according to the instructions on the package, cook them and then allow them to cool thoroughly.

Clean and chop the vegetables, wash and chop the parsley.

In a large bowl, mix the cooled pearl barley with the cucumber and tomato pieces, the chopped onions, the pumpkin seeds and the chopped parsley.

Carefully remove the vegetarian sausages from the plastic packaging and fry them in a pan with a little oil until crispy.

Then cut the bulsur into slices and stir in as well.

For the sauce, mix the mustard with the lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Then slowly pour in the rapeseed oil, stirring constantly, until a uniform liquid is formed.

Then pour the sauce over the salad and serve immediately.

As a side dish I also had Rauðrófubuff, a vegetable burger with beetroot.
