Ingredients

Method

In saucepan, heat chicken broth over low heat; keep warm. In large saucepan, melt 1 tbsp of the butter and olive oil over medium heat; cook barley, leeks and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until no liquid remains. Pour in reserved broth; bring to boil, stirring. Reduce heat; cover and cook until all liquid is absorbed and barley is tender but firm, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch peas for 2 minutes. Drain; refresh under cold running water. Drain again.

Remove barley from heat; stir in peas, manchego, yuzu juice, parsley and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley.
