Ingredients:
1 cup quick-cooking barley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounce size) chicken or vegetable broth
8 ounces fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese or Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil

In a large saucepan cook barley in hot olive oil over medium heat about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring often. Add onion, butter, and garlic; cook until onion is tender.
In a small saucepan heat broth. Slowly add 3/4 cup of the broth to barley mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until liquid is absorbed.
