Ingredients
Method
- Grease a large pudding basin or individual ramekins with oil.
- Cook the lentils and barley in separate pans until just tender, but still retaining some ‘bite’ (approximately 25 minutes). Leave to one side.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan, and, on a medium to low heat, fry the onion for 5–10 minutes until soft and beginning to go translucent.
- Add the carrot and cook for a few minutes, until it begins to soften and brown.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Next stir in the mushrooms and fry, adding the spices after a minute or so. Add the lentils and oats. Stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Make the stock and add the miso to it.
- Add the hot miso stock and the yeast extract, and simmer until the mixture is very thick, adding a little water if necessary. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
- Stir in the pearl barley, cashew nuts, and thyme, and season to taste. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon the mixture into the pudding basin or ramekins, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Turn out onto a serving plate and serve with neeps and tatties, mash or your favourite sautéed greens.
