Ingredients
Let’s gather our magical ingredients to make this delectable dish. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup of barley
- 2 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (think peas, carrots, and bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but it looks pretty!)
Instructions
Now that we have everything, let’s get down to the business of cooking!
- Rinse the barley under cold water. It’s like giving it a refreshing spa day!
- In a pot, combine the barley and vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover it and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the barley is tender and has absorbed all that yummy broth.
- While the barley is soaking up all the goodness, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it’s fragrant (trust me, your kitchen will smell amazing!).
- Now toss in your mixed veggies and cook them for about 5-7 minutes, or just until they’re tender-crisp. You want them to have a little crunch left!
- Once the barley is cooked, combine it with the sautéed veggies. Sprinkle in the oregano, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir it all together to create a symphony of flavors!
- Garnish with fresh parsley if you want to be fancy, and voila!
