Preparation

Step 1

1. In a saucepan, soften the onion and garlic in the butter. Add the barley and cook for 1 minute while stirring. Deglaze with the wine and the lemon juice. Reduce for 1 minute. Add the broth and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the barley is tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs. Add the lemon zest and adjust the seasoning.
