VEGETABLE AND BARLEY PILAF
Hearty, colorful, easy and fast were the reviews we gave this good-for-you dish. Barley has a healthy amount of soluble fiber, which aids digestion. And it can help to lower cholesterol, too! You can easily substitute other fresh veggies you have on hand. -Jesse Klausmeier, Burbank, California

BARLEY & BOW TIE PILAF
From Safeway Pearl Barley Package - "This is such a tasty dish and it's effortless to prepare because the farfalle pasta (bow ties) bakes right along with the barley. It makes a nice change of pace from rice and potatoes, with any meat, poultry, fish or vegetarian meal." Pilaf may be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature and reheat in the microwave

BARLEY PILAF
Barley can be found in two forms-hulled and pearled. Pearling removes almost a third of the grain, making it quicker cooking and reducing some nutrients. Hulled barley takes longer to cook but has a higher nutrient content and a pleasant, toothsome chewiness. This pilaf recipe is a simple way to enjoy hulled barley.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 6 minutes.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
