Barley and Carrots

Got a delicious side dish coming at 'cha tonight! Barley and Carrots, nice and simple, good flavor!

Ingredients 

1 cup of Instant Barley (Quaker)
2 cups of Chicken Broth
1 cup of cooked Carrots
1 pinch of salt














Directions

  1. Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and mix in instant barley. Cover, lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Carrots can be pan fried with some oil, salt, and pepper for 8-10 minutes over medium heat. Another method if making a cornish hen is to let carrots cook with the hen (this gives them excellent flavor)
  3. Take barley off the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. Fork through the barley.
  4. Spoon barley into a bowl and top with the carrots. If served with a Cornish Hen be sure to spoon some of the Hen Drippings over the top.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
Since I've already did a Cornish Hen recipe I decided to feature the side dish.
