When we’re in the mood for a tasty side dish with lots of fiber, we reach for our skillets and Florida’s Natural^® Orange Juice. Careful—it could steal the spotlight from your entrée.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
• 4 tablespoons onion, finely minced
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 & 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup Florida's Natural^® Orange Juice
• 1 & 1/2 tablespoons grated orange rind
• 1 & 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup uncooked pearl barley, rinsed
• 1 small orange, peeled and sectioned

Instructions

• In a skillet, sauté the carrots and onion in butter until just tender.
• Stir in the broth, orange juice, orange rind, salt and barley; cover, reduce heat to low and cook until barley is tender, 30-40 minutes.
• Spoon into a serving dish and top with orange sections.
