| 1. Over moderate heat, begin to saute the shallots with oil in a large sauce pan or stockpot. Cook for 5 minutes or so until the shallots are tender and have begun to brown. If the shallots begin to dry, add a tablespoon or so of water. | 2. Add the barley to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour broth and 3 cups of water into the pot. Cover with lid and cook 10-15 minutes until the barley is tender. (Check the package instructions for suggested cooking time.). | 3. If you are adding the carrots, cook in a separate saucepan in water for 5 minutes until tender but firm. | 4. Pour barley and broth into a colander sitting in a larger bowl to collect liquid.
