Ingredients

This pilaf is dead simple, and it's a fantastic alternative to a dish traditionally made with rice. If you're exploring the possibilities for including less familiar whole grains in your diet, this is a dish worth learning.
1 cup pearl barley
2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/4 tsp. rosemary
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Toasted Barley Pilaf

Directions

1. Place barley in a large, heavy skillet. Dry toast over medium heat until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally (10-12 minutes).
2. Slowly stir in the broth and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and barley is chewy (20 minutes).
