How to Make Barley Tabbouleh
- Rinse the pearl barley under cold water.
- In a large saucepan, combine the barley and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the barley is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let the barley stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes to finish absorbing any remaining liquid.
- Drain off any excess water and transfer the cooked barley to a large bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and oregano to the barley. Gently toss to combine.
- Stir in the chopped cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley.
- Toss gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra parsley or a lemon wedge if desired.
