Ingredients
  

  • Coconut Oil Cooking Spray
  • 1/4 cup Pine Nuts
  • 1/8 White Onion sliced thin
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 3 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 3/4 cup Pearled Barley
  • 6 ounces Beets steamed
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
  • 2 teaspoons Dill dried
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Cilantro finely chopped
  • Garlic Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil barley per package instructions, but instead of water and salt, use the same amount of veggie broth and set aside so it cools slightly.
  • Spay a small cast iron pan with coconut oil spray and turn the heat up to medium to warm the pan.
  • When you can put your hand over the pan and feel the heat, add pine nuts and thinly sliced onions and sauté until the pine nuts begin to brown, (approximately 7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat, set aside in a bowl to cool.
  • Chop steamed beets and place into a medium-sized serving bowl.
  • Add barley, pine-nut mixture, cilantro and dill and stir.
  • Add sesame and hemp seeds.
  • Add garlic salt to taste and either serve warm or place in the fridge to cool.

Notes

  • To make this recipe gluten-free, simply change the barley to quinoa.
