Execution
Boil the pearled barley as you do with rice and let it cool by air. Meantime, prepare the pesto: put in the mixer the Parmesan in flakes, salt, garlic and pine seeds. Mix all until you obtain a soft cream, then add the basil and mix very lightly. Add a “turn” of extra virgin olive oil “Villa Magra Grand Cru”. Then cut the tomatoes in small cubes, season the barley with pesto, add the tomatoes, let it flavor and add salt.
