Good easy recipe. We made it with quick cook barley and it cooked up nice and thick in less than 30 min.

This is super easy to make. I used vegetable broth and left off the italian seasoning since I was serving it with teryaki chicken breasts. Mine cooked for about 4 hours and would have been much too watery at the 1 or 2 hour mark. It was a nice side dish and I liked the bite of the barley. I have frozen the extras and am looking forward to seeing if that works. Thanks.

barley is not gluten free. Do not make or eat this if you are on a gluten free diet.
