Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the carrots on a baking tray, dot with butter and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 35 minutes, or until tender and caramelised.

Place the remaining ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the celery and onion are soft. Stir through the barley and simmer for 2 minutes.

Serve the barley broth with the glazed carrots. Season to taste.

Cook's note: A hearty, warming home-made broth full of flavour thanks to gratings of fresh turmeric and ginger, and a squeeze of lemon. You won’t stop at just one bowl.
