Clean Eating Savory Barley

by The Gracious Pantry

I bought a bag of barley, not really knowing what I was going to do with it. I brought it home and it sat on the counter staring at me for a week. Every time I walked by the kitchen, there it was. Just begging to be part of that night’s dinner.

I like barley because it has a little “pop” to it when you bite into it. Almost like corn, but softer. It’s a fun grain to eat if you’re into textures at all.

So finally I gave in. I looked up what herbs would go well with it in The Flavor Bible, and finally settled on this little concoction. Pretty tasty for being a last minute addition to dinner! I served it with chicken and cauliflower.

Clean Eating Savory Barley
(Makes approximately 4 cups)

Ingredients
1 cup hulled barley
2 1/2 cups water
2 tsp. savory
1 vegetable bouillon cube

Directions

Step 1 – Place water, savory and bouillon cube in a pot and bring to a boil.

Step 2 – Add barley and return water to boil.

Step 3 – Once it boils, reduce heat to simmer.

Step 4 – Simmer until all the water is cooked out (about 30-45 minutes)

ALTERNATE METHOD

If you bought a package of barley instead of buying it in bulk, follow the directions and measurements on the package. Simply add the savory and bouillon to the water.

Eat and Enjoy!
