1
Put barely in a saute pan and toast over medium heat until golden brown. Bring broth and water to a boil.

Add toasted barley to the water and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside barley.
3
Cook bacon until crisp. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
4
Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to saute pan and saute carrots 5-10 minutes until tender but not soft. If you find you need more oil to saute carrots, simply add 2 tablespoons of chicken broth from the pot of barley instead.

Add garlic, zucchini, sliced mushrooms and saute a minute or 2 more. Shut heat off and add vinegar, remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, parsley and salt and pepper.
6
Combine drained barley, vegetable mixture and bacon together. Enjoy!
