  • 2/3 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/3 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1/3 cup uncooked medium pearl barley
  • 1/3 cup uncooked bulgur
  • 2 cups vegetable or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup sherry, optional
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and carrot in oil for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the rice, barley and bulgur; saute for 4 minutes or until grains are lightly browned.
