Barley Pilaf With Fruits and Nuts image

Sweet and nutty mixture that I like for a change of side dish. *** Update *** After doing this recipe again and not having some things I tried using candied ginger instead of apricot and chicken bouillon instead of salt also increased the cinnamon (too much poured out) used pecan pieces instead of almonds. Result - I loved it that way also! Conclusion - you can do anything with this and still have a great side dish.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my barley pilaf didn't turn out very well. The barley was undercooked and the fruits and nuts were mushy.

Overall, I thought this was a decent recipe. It was easy to follow and the pilaf turned out okay. However, I think it could be improved with a few tweaks.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could have been written in a more clear and concise way.

The barley pilaf was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add a little more liquid next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruits and nuts. I had some leftover apples and walnuts, and they worked perfectly in this dish.
