Butternut and Barley Pilaf
Rating (0 Rated)
Squash is one of those vegetables that is always there for you and never seems to disappoint. Butternut squash is a colorful and tasty vegetable that is loaded with fiber. The barley is a good partner adding a nutty, earthy flavor and a slightly chewy texture. Make this recipe vegan by substituting with vegetable broth. Serve with a crust whole grain roll.
