I thought this was an unusual and delicious side dish. It has a lot of flavor on it's own, so best to serve with something that will complement it (grilled fish, meat, or vegetables, a summer salad, etc.), not something with a sauce that might conflict. Thanks for sharing Catherine!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

- August 19, 2010This looks really wonderful, Catherine. I have some barley that I've been wanting to cook and now you've given me the opportunity. I'll let you know how it is!
August 5, 2010This looks great, I've never cooked barley before but it looks like a perfect match.
