Instructies
- 1.Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the diced lamb with salt and pepper, then sear for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the lamb and set aside.
- 2.Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced fennel and leek to the same skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the pearl barley to the skillet and stir for 1 minute to toast it slightly. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4.Return the seared lamb to the skillet along with the halved cherry tomatoes. Stir everything together, cover again, and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the barley is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- 5.Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the dish, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
