It did get a smile out of her! Now I had the chance to ask, and apparently it is called "pearl barley".

Glad that recipe worked out for you two. I was off to pork vindaloo land and yet the barley beckons yet...

 You should do it! Just make sure to get a good bottle of wine. Since it
was sunday we could not buy alcohol, and at home we only had too good
wine for cooking, so in the end we had to settle for some non-alcoholic
that was a bit too sweet for my taste. No a hueg difference, but I do
think a more dry wine would make it taste even better.
