Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Ingredients
1 cup quick-cook barley
1 Tbl. olive oil
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1 clove of garlic-minced
1 (14 ounce) can of chicken broth or approximately 1 3/4 cup home-made stock or broth
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 lemon zested & juiced-optional
1/4 cup asiago cheese
1 cup of your favorite veggie, broccoli, spinach, carrots cut into bite sized pieces
Kosher salt & pepper to taste.
1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions:
In a large sauce pan toast the barley with the Tbl. of olive oil over medium heat for approximately 3-5 minutes or until lightly toasted (you’ll smell the change, at that point take it immediately off the heat) Stirring constantly. If you over toast, start over again it will ruin the finished dish!
Add the butter, green onion and garlic to the barley in the saucepan and cook over mediumheat another 2 minutes.
Add the veggies, herbs and the broth to the pan and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and veggies are tender NOT MUSHY!
It’s ok if there is a little moisture left if the veggies become tender before all the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from the heat and add the grated cheese!
My clients LOVE this dish when I make it for them and I think your family will too!
TIP: If you like it creamy add a little marscapone cheese or heavy cream to it right before you serve it.
