Cranberry Barley Pilaf Recipe
This barley recipe is outstanding! We love this barley pilaf as a side dish, and sometimes we enjoy it with just a simple salad as a complete vegetarian meal. After all, barley and cranberries are a natural pair of great for you foods. |
| This pilaf recipe gets it's color from fresh cranberries, but we have found that you can easily substitute dried cranberries if fresh are not available. They will plump as the barley recipe cooks. You will love the texture of this barley and cranberries pilaf recipe. There is so much going on with so few ingredients! |
