This pilaf is both colorful and tasty," says Kris Erickson from Everett, Washington. "The slightly chewy texture of the barley, the tender vegetables and lively spices make it special enough for company. I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen-especially with grains and veggies."

This recipe is too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I cooked the barley for too long.
