I am a big fan of my barley pilaf and use it as a side dish with roasted pork, chicken and fish recipes. Barley is an extremely healthy grain; it is low in fat, cholesterol free and fiber rich. It curbs food cravings by stuffing the stomach and providing you full feeling.

If you have never used barley in your meal plans then its time to try this recipe. My barley pilaf is flavorful, tasty and easy to make and loaded with the mushroom nutrition. It helps me in obtaining and maintaining my strong and lean abdominal muscles. The recipe is also perfect for you if you are looking for some weight deduction and fat loss recipes.
