Orzo and Toasted Barley Pilaf

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.
