2Tablespoonsvinegarwhite, rice, white wine, apple cider, etc.
6-8cupswater
4-8cupsfresh spinach
2Tablespoonspestotry kale pesto!
Instructions
In a medium sauce pot, bring the water to a boil. Reduce to “warm” and keep on stove.
Warm half the olive oil (1 Tablespoon) in a large, deep pan. Saute the onions and mushrooms until soft and fragrant. Add the remaining olive oil and the barley, and stir to coat, sautéing another couple of minutes.
Add 2 cups of water and stir well. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until all of the water is absorbed. Continue doing this, adding about a cup of water at a time, until the barley is soft and the dish is creamy. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
Add the pesto and the spinach and stir well. Cook a couple of minutes, just until the spinach is wilted.
