I have been absolutely obsessed with barley lately! It is one of my favorite grains because it is hearty, nutty, has a great texture, and it can be a healthier substitute to rice or pasta. In this recipe I combine barley with creamy goat cheese, sautéed leeks, and lemon juice for a rich yet fresh summer dinner!


With minimal ingredients, you can transform boring pot barley into something so spectacular! This dish has been on repeat in my house, served as a main meal or even paired with chicken as a side dish.


I'd love to know if you give it a try! Let me know on my Instagram @tikofoods and check out my page for more yummy meals.
