Ingredients
  • 78.3 g pearl barley
  • 2.5 cup water
  • 98.4 g 85% lean ground beef
  • 70 g cauliflower
  • 20 g poblano pepper
  • 15 g yellow onion
  • 234.8 g tomato passata
  • 0.6444 tbsp olive oil
  • 3.9 g ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
Method
  1. 01Rinse pearl barley under cold water. Place in a pot with 2.5 cups of water, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain any remaining excess liquid.
  2. 02Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook for 6-8 minutes until deeply browned, no pink remains, and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Drain excess rendered fat if desired.
  3. 03Add riced cauliflower, diced poblano pepper, and diced yellow onion to the beef. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables soften and aromatics release fragrance.
  4. 04Stir in tomato passata, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. 05Stir in sherry vinegar and adjust salt to taste.
  6. 06Spoon warm cooked barley into a dish, top generously with ground beef and cauliflower sofrito, and serve.
