Instructions: Buddha Bowl with pearl barley and grilled asparagus

For this recipe I use pearl barley made by Bartolini.
Cook pearl barley in salted water, following the instructions on the box, drain and set aside to cool down.
Put cleaned green asparagus and romanesco broccoli florets in a bowl. Sprinkle everything with olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to cover all the vegetable. Move to a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C until your vegetables become tender and slightly grilled (15 – 20 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool down.
Prepare the sauce by blending chives with yogurt, lemon juice, small garlic clove, a pinch of salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Assemble your Buddha Bowl by dividing barley, asparagus and Romanesco broccoli into 2 bowls. Add diced cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes. Add previously prepared sauce and serve.
