Title: Vegetable Barley
Categories: Side Check
Yield: 2 Servings

1	c	Uncooked pearl barley
1	tb	Vegetable oil or olive oil
1 1/2	tb	Onion(s), diced
1/2	c	Mushrooms, diced
1/4	c	Zucchini, diced
1/4	c	Carrots, diced
1	tb	Soy sauce
		Salt to taste

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the barley with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to keep the water at a low boil until the barley is cooked, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally while the barley is cooking to prevent it from sticking. Drain.

In an 8-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. Saut, stirring often, until lightly browned and just cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked barley and stir to combine.

Season with soy sauce and serve immediately.
