Here's a pleasantly chewy alternative to rice as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup pearl barley
  • 2-1/4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Preparation

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in barley.

Pour in stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, 30 minutes.

Stir in peas, corn, green onions, salt and pepper; cook until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
