Rosemary-glazed carrots with barley pilaf

Either of the components of this vegetarian dish would work well as an accompaniment to grilled or roasted lamb or fish.

Serves 4



1 tbsp   olive oil
20 gm   butter
4   golden shallots, finely chopped
2   garlic cloves, finely chopped
750 ml (3 cups)   chicken stock
280 gm   pearl barley
2 tbsp   currants
To serve:   chervil sprigs
To serve:   baguette and French butter
Rosemary-glazed carrots
2 bunches   Dutch carrots, trimmed
20 gm   butter
1 tbsp   honey
2 tsp   rosemary leaves


1 Heat oil and butter in a saucepan over high heat, add shallot and garlic and cook until tender (5 minutes). Add stock, barley and currants, season to taste, bring to the boil, then stir occasionally over medium-high heat until liquid is absorbed and barley is tender (20 minutes).
2 Meanwhile, for rosemary-glazed carrots, combine carrots, butter, honey, rosemary and 2 tbsp water in a large frying pan over medium-hight heat, bring to the simmer and cook, turning carrots occasionally, until carrots are tender and liquid forms a glaze (10-15 minutes). Season to taste and serve over barley pilaf, scattered with chervil, with bread and French butter.
