2 tablespoons butter
1 large leek -- white and pale green part rinsed well and sliced
4 cups kale -- (packed)
salt & pepper -- to taste
1/2 cup pearled barley
1 cup vegetable broth

Place barley in saucepan and brown slightly in dry pan over medium heat. Add broth and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 35 to 45 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and barley is tender.

While barley cooks, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add leek, kale, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, covered or until kale is just wilted; uncover to let cool down slightly.

When barley is done, remove from heat and stir in kale and cover. Let stand 10 minutes to heat through. Add chopped fresh herb and taste. Adjust salt & pepper and serve.
