Recipe by Ignacio Mattos A virtuous, herby grain salad with a heart of indulgent butterfat. We love the white-on-white effect of using barley, but it's delicious with basically any whole grain; try wheat berries or spelt.

Ingredients

1/2 cup pearl, hulled, or hull-less barley Kosher salt 1/4 cup fine fresh breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 2 cups whole milk 1 cup finely chopped cauliflower 1 small shallot, finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped celery hearts, plus 1/4 cup finely chopped leaves 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley stems 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar 8 ounces burrata or fresh mozzarella, torn 1 tablespoon crème fraîche Coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Cook barley in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 15 –20 minutes for pearl, 35 –40 for hulled or hull-less. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool. Meanwhile, toss breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown, 10 –12 minutes; let cool. Bring milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; season with salt. Add cauliflower and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes; drain well. Discard milk. Toss cauliflower, barley, breadcrumbs, shallot, celery hearts, celery leaves, parsley, parsley stems, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar in a bowl; season salad with salt. Mix burrata and crème fraîche in a medium bowl; season with salt. Divide burrata mixture among plates, drizzle with oil, and top with barley salad; season with pepper. DO AHEAD: Barley can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Breadcrumbs can be toasted 1 day ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
