If you're tired of potatoes, try this quick-and-easy pilaf for a change of taste. "I put it together while trying to use up left-over rice," writes Marilyn Bazant of Albuquerque, New Mexico. "I've experimented with many variations, such as adding broccoli florets and asparagus."

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I must have added too much liquid.

The pilaf was a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

The barley and rice pilaf was easy to make and turned out great. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious.
