Curried Barley with Raisins and Almonds

Barley, onion, garlic, and almonds provide lots of fiber and antioxidants
in this side dish. Serve it with fish, chicken, or beef--any entree you'd
normally have with rice or potatoes. This is also great served with mango
chutney for a bit of heat and sweetness to complement the curry.

4 Servings:

1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2-1/2 cups vertically sliced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
1-1/2 cups cooked pearl barley
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
onion; cover and cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring
occasionally. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Remove from pan. Add 1
teaspoon oil to pan. Add curry powder, and cook 1 minute. Add barley, and
toss gently to coat. Stir in cooked onion, raisins, parsley, toasted
almonds, salt, and pepper.
Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup).
