Recipe: Two Grain Lemon Pilaf (using barley and brown rice)

TWO GRAIN LEMON PILAF

"The chewy texture and slight nutty flavor of barley and brown rice offer a pleasant diversion from plain white rice."

1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup uncooked barley
1/4 cup uncooked brown rice
3 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

In medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Stir in celery, onion, barley and rice. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 45 to 50 minutes until barley and rice are tender and liquid is absorbed.

Add parsley, margarine and lemon peel; toss with fork to blend.

Makes 4 servings, 1/2 cup each
