Brown Rice and Barley Medley

The nutty flavor of the rice and the chewy texture of the barley complement each other well in this side dish from Chashie K. Dried cranberries add just the right amount of color and flavor. To achieve different textures, experiment with different types of rice, like long grain, short round rice, etc.

The lemon juice adds a really nice dimension to this simple recipe. I used about a tablespoon of onion soup mix for the seasoning rather than Mrs Dash. Overall really like this!
