char until lightly blackened, turn over and repeat on the other side. - Remove to a container or plate and cover with cling wrap, leave for 5 minutes
to steam. - Chop into 3cm sized chunks and add to the carrots.
Barley
- Place the barley and ¾ cup of water with a pinch of salt in an unperforated steam container and place into the steam oven and Steam at 100°C for 40 minutes. Remove, drain and cool on a baking tray.
- Dry in the oven at 90°C for 3 hours, or until crisp.

- Carefully add ¼ of the dry barley and cook for 30 seconds, or until puffed and still
light in colour. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat for the remaining barley ¼ at a time. - Sprinkle with the fine salt and cool.
Labna

- Place a clean tea towel or muslin in a sieve over a bowl and pour the yoghurt inside. Tie up the corners with an elastic band and sit in the fridge overnight.
- It should be thick, if not hang for a few hours more then remove from the sieve and store in the fridge until needed.
