I wanted to make some duck breasts because it is a protein I don't use very often. I had bought some barley the other day and had some left over so I decided to use it again. Barley is high in fiber and very healthy for you. I cooked the barley with chicken stock and apple cider to give it a light apple undertone. Duck is a protein that pairs well with fruits so I figured this would work well. I decided to go with Brussels sprouts to add color to the dish but roasting them in bacon would give them a nice salty taste to counter the sweet of the barley. The dish turned out great. I really liked the pairing of the barley and Brussels sprouts. Let me know your thoughts!
