How to Make Stir Fried Barley

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350.Prepare stock by combining chicken base with water.
In a saucepan cook the onion and garlic in a small amount of stock until the onions are translucent.
Add the barley and the remaining stock. Bring the liquid to a boil and cove the pot lightly.
Cook in the oven until the barley is tender and all of the liquid has absorbed, about 45 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, cook the shallots, peppers, carrots and celery in the oil until tender.
Add the barley and thyme and stir-fry until heated thoroughly.
