Kg, did you use the pearl barley. That's what Aarron suggested on the show. I am making it tonight. Sounds lovely and different.

I have made these cakes four times now and my family just loves them. They have so much flavor going on. Great Healthy substitute for pasta or potatoes.

I saw the weeknight feast episode and thought the barley and currant cakes looked delicious, so I printed the recipe and went out to get the ingredients. I followed the recipe exactly but had problems. The barley did not absorb the chicken stock in 30 minutes so I cooked it another 30 minutes, but the barley never absorbed it. Finally, I just drained the liquid and continued on.
I was not able to find currants after checking 3 different stores, so I substituted dried cranberries and cooled the mixture. When it came time to mix in the flour and egg, the mixture was so loose that it would not form into cakes, so I had to add twice the flour to get them to somewhat stick together.
It was frustrating, but the end result was fairly good. I would like to try this again, but I am wondering if there are any suggestions as to how to make sure this does not happen again.
