Get cozy this winter with this easy and nutritious casserole that practically cooks itself.
Ingredients:
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 1kg boneless pork shoulder, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 500g Swiss brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 20.00 ml roughly chopped fresh rosemary
  • 20.00 ml roughly chopped fresh sage leaves
  • 20.00 ml roughly chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 382.50 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 165.00 gm pearl barley
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 bunches steamed broccolini, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan-forced).
  • In a secure bag, combine flour, pepper, and pork. Shake well to coat the pork. Heat half of the oil in a large casserole dish over high heat. Brown the pork in batches for 5 minutes, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer to a plate.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, mushrooms, rosemary, sage, and half of the thyme. Sauté for 8 to 10 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the stock and 1 1/2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Place the pork back in the dish, cover it, and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until the pork is tender.
  • Cook the barley according to the instructions on the packet. Drain thoroughly and cover to keep warm.
  • Remove the cover from the casserole dish and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Season with pepper and top with a mixture of parsley, lemon zest, and remaining thyme. Spoon the pork mixture over the barley, sprinkle with gremolata, and serve alongside broccolini.
