For a richer flavor, toast the barley in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding the butter. Feel free to customize the spices to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a touch of heat. If you don't have slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or cashews also work well. Consider adding some chopped vegetables, such as carrots or peas, for added nutrition and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Check periodically to ensure the barley isn't sticking to the bottom; add a little more broth if needed.
