Directions

For the barley and brunoise vegetables:
In a medium saucepan, toast the barley in butter on medium heat, for about 5 minutes until it begins to brown. Add the stock, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

In a pan, saute the onion, carrot, red pepper, zucchini, celery, garlic, and chives in olive oil and butter for about 10 minutes, until golden brown. Combine the vegetables with the barley. Season with salt and pepper. Keep aside.

For the mustard sauce:
Add olive oil and saute the shallots for 1 minute. Add the capers, stock, and mustard. Continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced by 1/2. Add the butter and whisk until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

For the sole filets:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the sole fillets on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes.

When ready to serve, plate the barley with the sole filets, garnish with the sauce and chive.

    For some reason, it seemed that the veggies were too much for the amount of barley I cooked so I didn't add all the veggies into the recipe. I also thought that the barley part of the recipe was insipid while the mustard sauce was salty. But once I put all three parts together, it was fantastic. It just goes to show that the whole is much more than the sum of the parts. Had some leftover barley the next day with the extra leftover veggies as a side dish.

    both my husband and I enjoyed this recipe....lots of dirty pans but worth it. The Mustard Sauce is excellent for fish. Nice presentation..will make the barley and veggie dish instead of rice or potatoes. Thanks Chuck

    This recipe was fantastic! Make sure to do--as is--change NOTHING.;0

    (To the pathetic guy who changed something so sublime--and used beef in a fish recipe...? You just made us throw up in our mouths!
