Tha na seòid a’ taghal air muileann eòrna Bere. The lads visit a barley mill to cook with Bere Meal.

Tha na seòid a’ tadhal air muileann eòrna-bere ann an Arcaibh. Tha eòrna-bere air a bhith a’ fàs fad 5000 bliadhna agus tha iad fhathast ga fhàs air an eilean. Seo an aon mhuileann eòrna-bere a tha fhathast a’ dol agus tha na balaich a’ cleachdadh flùr eòrna-bere anns gach reasabaidh anns a’ phrògram seo. Tha Roddy a’ dèanamh picill agus rolaichean ciabatta à eòrna-bere gus ceapair stèig Buabhall Arcaibh a dhèanamh. Tha e cuideachd a’ cur dreach Arcach air Coquille Saint-Jacques. Tha Ùisdean a’ feuchainn air consommé agus cuideachd a’ deasachadh feòil-uain à Raghnallsaigh a Tuath le risotto air a dhèanamh le eòrna na chois.

In this episode, the lads travel to visit a flour mill in Orkney. Bere Barley can be traced back 5,000 years and is still grown in Orkney. It is milled in the only remaining barley mill and they use the bere flour in all the recipes.

Roddy makes pickle along with some bere barley ciabatta-style rolls which he uses for an Orkney Buffalo steak sandwich. He also makes an Orkney-inspired variation of Coquilles Saint-Jacques. Uisdean experiments with consomme and cooks north Ronaldsay lamb with a barley risotto.

Slis na mearagan-beaga gu tana le sgian gheur, mandoilin neo lann slisidh air pròiseasar-bidh. Cuir ann an bobhla le sgalaidean agus crath salann thairis air. Còmhdaich le uisge air leth fuar, measgaich gus an leagh an salann agus fàg airson uair a thìde. Drèanaig na mearagan-beaga gu math agus tiormaich le pàipear-cidsin neo tubhailtean-teatha. Ma bhios iad ro fhliuch, tanaichidh an t-uisge am picil.

Cuir na stuthan piclidh ann am pana agus teòthaich. Leig dha goil airson 3 mionaidean, a’ dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil an siùcar air leaghadh, an uairsin leig leis fuarachadh beagan gus a bheil e blàth, chan ann teth. Cuir na mearagan-beaga na mheasg agus cuir mun cuairt.

Courgette Pickle
250g courgettes, finely sliced
3 shallots, finely chopped
Pinch kosher salt
500ml bere vinegar
100g golden caster sugar
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp celery seeds
2 or 3 dried chillies 
1 tsp ground turmeric

Thinly slice the courgettes using a sharp knife, mandolin or slicing blade on a food processor. Put in a bowl with the shallots and sprinkle over the salt. Cover with ice-cold water, stir to dissolve the salt and leave for 1 hr. Drain the courgettes thoroughly and pat dry using kitchen paper or tea towels. If they stay too wet, the water will dilute the pickling solution.

Put the pickling ingredients into a pan and bring to a simmer. Bubble for 3 mins, making sure the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool until warm but not hot.  Add the courgettes and stir.

Scoop the mixture into 2 x 500ml sterilised jars. Seal and leave for a few days in the fridge. Kept chilled, these will keep for a couple of months.
