Hi Rachelle~ I have never tried quinoa with lentils this way but I beat with a little experimentation it would work very well. You still get lovely texture with quinoa and the flavours would be great… drop back in and let us all know how it works out :)

whataprize.. glad you liked the recipe, lemon zest is definitely one of those things that is best to add to taste” … cheers for the feedback :)

I thought this recipe was very good. When I first try a new dish I follow the recipe to the word; however, the next time I make this I will reduce the amount of lemon zest, it was a bit too tart.

We are a gluten free household, do you think I could sub in quinoa for the barley without diminishing the integrity of the dish, because this looks amazing!

Hi Kitty.. this recipe is very adaptable and would be just as good without the chili. Try 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and/or 1/2 teaspoon of paprika instead of the Cajun seasoning or simply dusting the potatoes with a little powdered vegetable stock is also a good trick to add a little flavour. In saying this, spuds are pretty good on their own and if you prefer just cook them in the oil as is and add a mixture of fresh or dried herbs like oregano or thyme for a little added flavour towards the end. Hope this is helpful and that you get to try the recipe soon; the mixture of barley and lentils really is so nutty and delicious :)

What would a good alternative to a red chili and cajun spice be? I think cajun food is an abomination and I don’t like burning my mouth with chilis. Aside from that, I love barley and potatoes and lentils and think this could be a great recipe for me with a different emphasis.

I do LOVE barley, but this way with it is new to me. Looks spectacular!
