Jay came home with a bunch of barley from the store cuz #quarantine so I found this recipe and had mostly all these ingredients or substitutions at home. Turned out delicious. Original recipe found here.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1.5 cups pearl barley
4 carrots, cubed
2 tbsp Dijon mustard, plus extra to serve
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups brussel sprouts, quartered
Few slices proscuitto, chopped
What To Do
Heat a large pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil and cook the garlic for 30 seconds then add red onion. Saute for 5 minutes or so then add proscuitto and saute for 3 minutes until combined.
Add the pearl barley, carrots and mustard, brussel sprouts, then pour over the chicken stock. Season with plenty of ground black pepper and simmer for 20-30 mins, stirring occasionally. Test barley for doneness and serve.
