Barley with Chives
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes
Barley is not just for soup! It's a hearty, nutritious grain; easy to cook and flavorful. I get the quick-cooking barley which takes about 15 minutes. Cooked in chicken stock and finished with a bit of oil and fresh herbs, it's chewy texture is a fun change from rice or pasta.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking barley, 75gr, 2.7oz
- 1 cup (250ml) chicken stock (or more, depending on type of barley), 225gr, 8oz
- 3 tbs fresh, snipped chives
- 1 tbs fresh, snipped basil
- 1 tbs good olive oil, 13.5gr, .48z
Instructions:
- Cook barley in stock until done, stirring occasionally. If all stock is not absorbed, drain.
- Stir in olive oil, herbs and serve.
