Ingredients

  • 1 g Black Pepper
  • 5 g Canola Oil
  • 80 g Carrot
  • 120 g Chicken broth
  • 15 g Dijon mustard
  • 6 g Flour
  • 4 g Fresh parsley
  • 4 g Garlic
  • 60 g Greek Yogurt
  • 100 g Green Bean
  • 150 g Ground Veal
  • 8 g Lemon juice
  • 55 g Pearl Barley
  • 1 g Salt
  • 50 g Yellow Onion

Instructions

  1. Cook the pearl barley in boiling water until tender, then drain well and set aside.
  2. Dice the carrot and onion, mince the garlic, and cut the green beans into bite-size pieces.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until they begin to soften.
  4. Add the ground veal, salt, and black pepper. Cook while breaking up the meat until it is browned.
  5. Stir in the garlic and flour, then cook briefly while stirring so the flour coats the veal mixture.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth gradually, stir in the Dijon mustard, then add the green beans. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the beans are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and parsley until the sauce is creamy.
  8. Place the cooked barley in a meal-prep container and top with the creamy Dijon veal mixture. Cool before sealing and refrigerating.
