5 stars! I was feeling like a big fatty so decided I needed to do another “cleanse” really a diet with a fancy name since I don’t really buy into the “you are bad at life because you sometimes eat and drink like a glutton” now cleanse!! I gave up drinking for three weeks once with no discernible effect, wtf!
Actually it’s more of a kick in the pants towards more healthy eating, blah, blah. Enough about my eating habits on to the food….
I really got into barley in soups, cooking either vegetable soup with barley or beef barley soup. So delicious and creamy and healthy and inexpensive and even trendy oh barley you are cooler than kale. I saw this recipe when I was wasting time on Chow one day at work and saved it and it is awesome. Ridiculously easy to make, delicious, filling. I ate this stuff every day for at least a week and only got a tiny bit bored of it at the end. Next time I will halve it.
I didn’t have walnut oil or sherry vinegar so replaced them with canola oil and what I thought was white wine vinegar but turned out to be rice wine vinegar. Next time I will get the recommended oil and vinegar but in the meantime don’t let your lack of them stop you even with my substitutions it was delicious.
But, holy god, leave out that salt. As I was dumping in those 2 whole teaspoons it just seemed like a lot and my barley ended up very salty.
Here’s the link, make some tonight.
