thinking of trying this, but i am not a fan of quick cooking barley.

arley Risotto Primavera

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Makes: 4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2/3 cup)

½ cup finely chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ teaspoon dried thyme

3 cups cooked quick-cooking barley

½ cup white wine (optional)

1 ½ to 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided

1 small zucchini, chopped (about 1 cup)

½ red bell pepper, chopped (about ¾ cup)

½ yellow bell pepper, chopped (about ¾ cup)

¼ teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 ½ cups frozen peas

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion, and cook 4-5 minutes until onion begins to brown. Add garlic and thyme; cook 1 minute or until fragrant.

Reduce heat to medium; stir in barley and white wine (if using) or ½ cup broth; cook 1 minute or until liquid is absorbed. Add zucchini, bell peppers and ¾ cup broth; cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed. Add another ¾ cup broth; cook until vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add ¼ teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Stir in peas; remove from heat. Let stand 1-2 minutes or until peas are thawed but still bright green. Stir in Parmesan cheese just before serving.

fry bacon in a large pan, pour off the fat and save for lard, stir in cooked barley & kidney beans, heat through and serve. simple and delicious.

This isn't really a recipe, but I take soyrizo, okra, black beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, and barley and cook it with spices to make a gumbo/soup/chili type dish. It is a popular meal here.
