Ingredients

    3 cups vegetable broth (I make my own)
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 onion chopped
    3/4 cup barley
    1/3 cup white wine
    1 cup white mushrooms chopped
    1 cup broccoli chopped
    1 tbsp basil
    salt and pepper
    2 cups spinach

Directions

Bring broth to a boil, remove from heat and cover.
In a different pan (I love to use cast iron) add 1 tbsp oil and saute onions 5 minutes. Add barley and coat with oil, reduce heat to low, add wine. Once it is absorbed, add 1/2 cup broth at a time until it is all absorbed.
Meanwhile in a seperate pan, saute mushrooms and broccoli in 1 tbsp oil. Stir this, basil, and spinach into barley, season with salt and pepper.
