Just tried this the other day. From a website that looks like it might have some gems. This was super simple and tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. oil
- 1 onion, diced
- ½ cup pearl barley
- 6-8 cups vegetable (or chicken stock)
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash (about ½”)
- 3-4 large kale leaves, ribs removed and roughly chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 3 quart pot. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until onions softens and starts to turn golden. Add the barley, stir constantly and cook until golden brown. Add the stock, cover, and lower heat to a low simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes. Remove lid and add the butternut squash. Continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes, or until the squash is just barely tender. Add the kale and cook for a few minutes more. Ladle into bowls and serve piping hot.
