Drain the water and cook the barley in a pot with plenty of salted water for about twenty minutes from boiling.
Meanwhile, pour three tablespoons of oil into a pan and brown the finely chopped red onion.
Add the washed and chopped zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, season with salt, and cover with a lid.
Cook for about thirteen minutes and occasionally check the cooking to stir, adding a little water if necessary.
Drain the barley when ready and add the well-cooked vegetables from the pan. Mix well and serve at the table as a main dish.
Barley with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and red onion has a very fine taste and is quite digestible and nutritious. I definitely recommend it.
Barley can be prepared and cooked in the morning to be ready in the evening. It does not overcook and retains its beneficial qualities. Barley is especially suitable for those with constipation problems and helps regulate the intestines.
