I love this time of year when all the early spring fruits and veggies start to show up in the farmer's markets. This could easily be done as a risotto, but I tossed this together with a bunch of barley I'd cooked up earlier in the week. I frequently cook a bunch of whatever favorite grain of the week I'm working with and keep it in the fridge. Then I just add it to various things all through the week, making it oh-so-easy to bring whole grains into my diet.
