CHEESY STOVE-TOP BARLEY AND SWISS CHARD



Cheesy Stove-Top Barley and Swiss Chard image

When barley is prepared risotto-style, it comes out just as creamy as the original but with lots more filling fiber. Here, we add handfuls of sliced Swiss chard and shiitake mushrooms for an extra boost of nutrients. And because healthy food can be delicious too, a little cheese for creaminess and diced tomatoes for brightness make this a well-rounded meal for fall and winter.
