Spanish Barley-Brown Rice Pilaf image

I based this recipe on a black bean recipe posted by Diana/NYC that uses a "sofrito" made with Spanish olive oil. It would be good with some black beans and corn added to it also. Try and find Spanish olive oil, it adds so much flavor to this healthy fiber filled dish.
