Barley for Breakfast (Cebada por el Desayuno)

Barley can be used in place of rice in many dishes. Add sautéed vegetables to cooked barley for a delicious salad. Add it to soups to make a heartier meal.

Ingredients:
• Pearl barley

Stovetop Directions:
Combine 1 cup of pearl barley with 3 cups of water or apple juice. Use the same ratio of one to three for smaller or larger amounts. Bring the mixture to a boil in a medium pot. Cover and reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for 30 to 45 minutes. Taste the barley to test for doneness. It should be tender but chewy. Add any combination of chopped apples, nuts, cinnamon, dried fruit or sweetener and milk if desired.

Microwave Directions:
Let 1 cup of barley and 3 cups of liquid soak overnight in a container in the refrigerator, and cook the soaked barley in the microwave for 10 minutes or until it is tender. Add any combination of chopped apples, nuts, cinnamon, dried fruit and milk if desired


Se puede usar cebada en vez de arroz en muchos platos. Agregue vegetales sofritos a cebada cocida para una ensalada deliciosa. Agregue cebada a sopas para hacerlas un plato principal.

Ingredientes:
• Cebada

Direcciones para la estufa:
Combine una taza de cebada con 3 tazas de agua o jugo de manzana. Use las mismas proporciones para cantidades más grandes o pequeñas. Hierva la cebada en una olla de tamaño mediano. Cúbrala y reduzca el fuego para cocinar 30-40 minutos más. Pruebe la cebada para ver si esté cocida. Debe ser tierna y masticable. Agregue su combinación favorita de manzana cortada, nueces, canela, fruta seca, y leche.

Direcciones para la microonda
