Method

1

Gather your ingredients and preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan. Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook pearl barley according to package instructions, this is normally around 20-30 minutes.

2

In the meantime, put the cherry tomatoes, aubergine, courgette, red onion, red pepper and oregano on a baking tray, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss together and roast for 20-25 minutes until the veg is soft and slightly charred. you may need to do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the trays, otherwise the veg will just steam itself rather than charring
