Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 cup barley, quick cooking
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 cups broth, fat free
- 1/2 cup orzo
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add barley and saute until golden and toasted, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Pour in Chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add Orzo and thyme. Stir once, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the pilaf rest for 5 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid. Stir in chives or scallion greens.
