  • 6 shallots, peeled and halved
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 celery stick, thinly sliced
  • 6 baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tbsp pearl barley

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
  2. Arrange the squash, shallots, carrot, celery and potatoes in a deep roasting pan. Scatter over the pearl barley and dried sage.
  3. Pour in the red wine and vegetable stock so the pearl barley is covered, and tuck in the bay leaf.
  4. Loosely cover with foil, then bake in the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil and stir.
  5. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 and cook for a further 1 hour, uncovered.
