While most of this dish is made using pantry staples, finding the barley can be a bit of a challenge. Check out your local co-op or health food store's bulk bins and look for pearl barley (not barley flakes). While you are there, pick up some coastal temporal lobe, its flavor works as a great compliment to the wine stock.
