Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Put the pearl barley into a large pan with 1L boiling water and the salt. Bring back to the boil, then simmer for 50-55 minutes, partly covered, stirring occasionally until the barley is soft and the water has been absorbed. Set aside, covered.

Step 3

While you wait, start the barbecue. Once hot, put the skewers on top and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through. The courgettes and onions should be charred and cooked through. Once ready, remove them from the skewers and put into a big bowl. Add the cooked barley, black pepper, herbs, chilli and lemon juice, then mix well to serve.
