ORGE AVEC LÈGUMES CARAMÈLISÈS

• 4 tasses (1 L) de bouillon de légumes réduit en sodium
• 1 c. à table (15 mL) d’huile de canola
• 3/4 de tasse (175 mL) d’orge perlée
• 1 c. à table (15 mL) d’huile de canola
• 1 oignon, tranché fin
• 1 poivron rouge, tranché fin
• 1 paquet (8 oz/250 g) de champignons tranchés

Dans un poêlon, chauffer à feu moyen-élevé la première quantité d’huile de canola. Ajouter l’orge et cuire pendant 3 à 4 minutes.
Incorporer le bouillon à l’orge. Porter à ébullition. Ensuite, réduire le feu et laisser cuire doucement à découvert pendant environ 40 à 45 minutes jusqu’à ce que l’orge soit tendre. Enlever l’excédent de bouillon. Couvrir pour garder l’orge chaude.
