I will be omitting all the oil. But so excited to try this dish this week :)
Total yum!! Omitted all oil. Used my homemade veggie broth mix when making the barley. Used three tablespoons of water instead of the 6 tablespoons of oil. And added and extra teaspoon of maple syrup to cut the acidity. I didn’t have parsley so I chopped up a small head of broccoli.
