LEMON-PARMESAN BARLEY



Lemon-Parmesan Barley image

From Cooking Light. The recipe originally called for water, but I believe that broth adds a great deal of flavor. I use either chicken or vegetable broth. You can also make this with regular barley, but need to adjust the cooking time in the first step.

4 cups water
8 cups (or more) Light Vegetable Broth or good-quality canned vegetable broth (such as Swanson), divided
