INSTRUCTIONS
How to Prepare: Place the barley in a fine sieve and wash under cold running water until the water runs clear, about 5 minutes. Drain. In a heavy saucepan, combine the barley, onion, bay leaf, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes uncovered. Fold in 2 tablespoons of the Basil Pesto and mix well, fluffing with a fork. (Basil Pesto Procedure) In a blender combine the garlic, basil, pine nuts, cheeses, and vitamin C pill (if using). Blend on high for 1 minute, then slowly add the oil in a steady stream so that the mixture binds together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
