Grain and Green

From waterlily 15 years ago

Let's all eat more grains and vegetables! They're delicious and so healthful. This recipe has great flavor and it's easy to prepare.

½ cup pearl barley, rinsed and drained OR ½ cup quinoa shopping list
1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
1 small onion, chopped shopping list
½ pound fresh green beans (or substitute frozen green beans OR edamame) shopping list
½ teaspoon each fresh oregano and basil (or substitute ¼ teaspoon dried) shopping list
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper shopping list
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan or asiago cheese shopping list
1 tablespoon parsley, snipped fine shopping list
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted shopping list

Cook the barley in one quart boiling salted water for about 30-35 minutes. Drain. If using quinoa, cook in about 1 cup of water for about 15 minutes.
Steam the green beans until they’re tender-crisp (5 minutes or so)
Heat the oil in a sauce pan and sauté the onion until it’s translucent.
Add the green beans and cook a minute or two.
Add the oregano, basil, and pepper.
Add the cooked grain.
Stir in the cheese and parsley.
Top with the toasted pine nuts.
