Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place pearl barley and 2 1/2 cups water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to low. Cover and cook anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes or until the barley is cooked through (should be tender but maintains some chew.)
- While barley is cooking, place diced vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion) on a large baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, 1 1/2 tsp harissa spice, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss to coat. Spread evenly in one layer on the baking sheet. Roast in heated oven for 25 minutes or so.
- When barley is ready, drain any excess water. Season with salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp harissa spice and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. Toss to combine.
- Transfer cooked barley to a large mixing bowl. Add roasted veggies. Add chopped scallions, garlic, and fresh parsley. Dress with lemon juice and a good drizzle of Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil. Toss. If you like, top with crumbled feta and toasted pine nuts.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold! Enjoy.

OLD FASHIONED LEMON (CITRUS) BARLEY WATER
I love this drink so couldn't believe it when I saw it wasn't on Zaar. This is from the back of a packet of Pearl Barley. You can also experiment with a mixture of other citrus juices such as lime or grapefruit.

LEMON-PARSLEY BARLEY
For never having made barley before...I must say this turned out quite nice. I paired this with a grilled onion and garlic pork loin as a side dish. Awesome substitute for rice!

Steps:
- Cook onion and garlic until sauteed well. Set to the side.Combine water and broth and cook barley according to directions on package. Juice lemon then add juice to cooking barley. When you can start to see a little of the barley through the water, add the cooked onions and garlic. Barley should be tender but not mushy or crunchy-hard. Add parsley to barley and fold mixture in until even through out. Parsley may wilt a bit due to heat. You may wait to add parsley until you are ready to serve -- But don't let it get cold.
