Orzo is pasta that looks like rice. Barley adds a nutty flavor. Together, with the rice, the three make an exciting grain dish.

1/2 cup bell peppers, green or red or both
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup pearled barley

1 cup rice
1/2 cup dry orzo pasta
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup chopped nuts such as pine, almonds or walnuts (optional)
