Barley Pilaf with Artichoke Hearts
A serving of this meatless main dish offers nearly a third of an adult's suggested daily requirement of fiber. Serve with cherry tomatoes tossed with a bottled vinaigrette.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until tender.
Step 2
While barley cooks, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add artichokes and garlic. Sauté 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Stir pesto, lemon juice, and chickpeas into the cooked barley. Serve artichoke mixture over barley; top with cheese.

I thought this was okay, but with potential. I added some fresh, chopped parley for some green in the dish. I liked a previous reviewer's suggestion to add some roasted cherry tomatoes.
