Barley is one of the oldest cultivated cereals and has one of the lowest GI values of any food. It's also versatile: add pearl barley to soups and stews, fuel you day with barley porridge or make a barley risotto - all great ways to reduce the overall GI of a meal.
1) Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°C/Gas 4). Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish over medium heat and saute the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, then add the barley, barbecue sauce and hot stock. Stir well and season with pepper.
2) Cover with the lid and bake for 40-45 minutes. After this time, place the trout fillets on top of the risotto, squeeze over the lemon juice and season with pepper. Replace the lid and cook for a further 15 minutes.
3) Flake the trout into large pieces and gently combine with the barley risotto. Sprinkle with the dill and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over if desired. Serve with either a green salad or steamed green vegetables.
To reduce cooking time, cover the barley with water in the morning and leave to soak for the day.
